Similarly to many other contemporary Mexican artists, Kahlo was heavily influenced by Mexicanidad, a romantic nationalism that had developed in the aftermath of the revolution. [95] [84] The Mexicanidad movement claimed to resist the "mindset of cultural inferiority" created by colonialism, and placed special importance on indigenous cultures. [96] Before the revolution, Mexican folk culture– a mixture of indigenous and European elements– was disparaged by the elite, who claimed to have purely European ancestry and regarded Europe as the definition of civilization which Mexico should imitate. [97] Kahlo's artistic ambition was to paint for the Mexican people, and she stated that she wished "to be worthy, with my paintings, of the people to whom I belong and to the ideas which strengthen me". [92] To enforce this image, she preferred to conceal the education she had received in art from her father and Ferdinand Fernandez and at the preparatory school. Instead, she cultivated an image of herself as a "self-taught and naive artist". [98] In 1943, Kahlo accepted a teaching position at the recently reformed, nationalistic Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda". [62] She encouraged her students to treat her in an informal and non-hierarchical way and taught them to appreciate Mexican popular culture and folk art and to derive their subjects from the street. [63] When her health problems made it difficult for her to commute to the school in Mexico City, she began to hold her lessons at La Casa Azul. [64] Four of her students– Fanny Rabel, Arturo García Bustos, Guillermo Monroy, and Arturo Estrada– became devotees, and were referred to as "Los Fridos" for their enthusiasm. [65] Kahlo secured three mural commissions for herself and her students. [66] In 1944, they painted La Rosita, a pulqueria in Coyoacán. In 1945, the government commissioned them to paint murals for a Coyoacán launderette as part of a national scheme to help poor women who made their living as laundresses. The same year, the group created murals for Posada del Sol, a hotel in Mexico City. However, it was destroyed soon after completion as the hotel's owner did not like it. [ citation needed] At one of Modotti's parties in June 1928, Kahlo was introduced to Diego Rivera. [173] They had met briefly in 1922 when he was painting a mural at her school. [174] Shortly after their introduction in 1928, Kahlo asked him to judge whether her paintings showed enough talent for her to pursue a career as an artist. [175] Rivera recalled being impressed by her works, stating that they showed "an unusual energy of expression, precise delineation of character, and true severity... They had a fundamental plastic honesty, and an artistic personality of their own... It was obvious to me that this girl was an authentic artist".

Kahlo enjoyed art from an early age, receiving drawing instruction from printmaker Fernando Fernández (who was her father's friend) [7] and filling notebooks with sketches. [8] In 1925, she began to work outside of school to help her family. [9] After briefly working as a stenographer, she became a paid engraving apprentice for Fernández. [10] He was impressed by her talent, [11] although she did not consider art as a career at this time. [8] The book is the masterpiece of her writing and at the same time an open work 1.
