“She wasn’t a conventional beauty but she had an amazing face and every time she would draw a self portrait she wasn’t intent on making herself appear more beautiful or different from reality. She wouldn’t erase the moustache or the heavy eyebrows. Everyone else would have just made themselves look better or more in tune with aesthetical canons. I think that what makes a woman beautiful is pride in being herself and not trying to adapt herself to anyone else’s tastes. We should never apologise for being what we are, for being how we are.”
Madonna on Frida Kahlo
