Frida

In Frida, we saw a stereotypical case of the student becoming the teacher. Frida asks for Diego's approval of her art, and at the end she reassures Diego of his lenin piece.

In the first part shown, it was interesting to see how stubborn Frida was about her meeting with Diego being strictly buisness. It showed how she wanted to bring a new light to the stereotype of a latin american women in the past (frida was the 1900s, right?). She was also very focused on the money aspect of art, and strived her best not to be labeled as easel art, the cliche of motel art being uncreative and not 'real'.

The stereotype of not losing your vision to the man is also in this film. Stubborness seems a constant of artists in these films
