INFLUENCES ON FRIDA KAHLO The European Renaissance, Mexican culture, and the Pre- Columbian and Mythology culture, of her time period all had a profound impact on Kahlo’s work and served as a major influence to various paintings. Each of Kahlo’s portraits perfects a style that allows her to hide her emotional life behind a maslike face. Allowing her to negotiate a way to exist, and position herself in the world. In the beginning of Frida’s artistic career, she had no style of her own and her paintings reflected the themes and styles of other artists that she admired. “Self Portrait in a Velvet Dress” was Frida’s first self portrait in 1926.
Manet's influence reached all levels of the art world including early female artist around the same time period. Mary Cassatt's (1845-1926) Letter,(1891) shows Manet influence in the shading of the character in the painting. It is almost the same color as the background with absolutely no variation at all. The Impressionism movement was a direct result of Manet's ambition. Many young artists of the movement were concerned with visual perspective rather than subject matter.

Another factor was America’s own desire to rejoice and record its untapped natural wonders. Commercial and cultural ties were once again renewed with Europe and especially England, this fact also contributed to the success of the movement
Even Albert Einstein marveled over Xandi’s kinetic artwork. Faith Ringgold, on the other hand, introduced the element of painting quilts to art which allowed her to really fulfill her connection to her African and American culture.

Even though Calder and Ringgold are similar in a lot of ways, they still have quite a number of differences between them. Faith Ringgold pretty much always knew that she was going to be an artist.
The gallery “Portraiture in the Grand Manner” carries the kind of glamour of Leutze to the end of the 19th century. The opulent life of high society women in the gilded age provides ample opportunities to continue the tradition of painting the likeness of aristocracy as the absolute artistic descendant of van Dyck and Velazquez yet the excellent detail is loaded by the necessity of establishing the social status: I was amazed, at how stature was always held.

I think it would be an amazing experience to live in another country, especially without my family.
