Ambroise Fullard organized two important Paris exhibitions that featured Gauguin’s work. Paul Gauguin was regarded as an important symbol in the movement. He was a painter, writer, sculptor and ceramist. Through the way he represented the meanings of his subjects, Gauguin helped usher in Primitivism. Gauguin’s famous painting, “Where do We Come From?” was one of his most well-known. Who Are We? Where are we going? Gauguin’s painting is known as the “Where Are We Going” painting. Frida Kahlo de Rivera, a Mexican self-portrait painter, used a folk style to express her thoughts on gender, race, and identity. She is known for her surrealist paintings that mixed fantasy with realism.
Kahlo participated in post-revolutionary Mexicanidad, which sought to identify Mexicans. The Escuela Nacional de Pintura y Escultura y Grabado “La Esmerald” was her first school. She also founded the Seminario de Cultura Mexicana. Before her paintings were discovered, Kahlo was Diego Rivera’s wife. However, after being recognized for her contributions to art history, Kahlo became an icon for Chicanos and feminists. Because of the positive recognition she received, Kahlo switched to larger canvases and tin sheets. She also changed her style. She chose a more refined technique, reduced graphic detail, and created quarter-length portraits. These were more easy to sell.
