With Latinx and Hispanic communities spread all over the planet, it\u2019s easy to see why Latinx art, history, music, and culture are influential in our everyday lives. Rooted in Spanish exploration and colonization of Latin America, Latinx<\/em> refers to people with origins from Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Hispanic<\/em> describes someone whose ancestry derives from a Spanish-speaking country.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate the cultural impact of Latinx and Hispanic artists from around the world during National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15), we\u2019ve got a stunning list of famous artworks and where to find them, from Mexico and Spain to Cuba and Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Two Fridas<\/em> by Frida Kahlo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Where to find it: Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most recognized by her signature bushy eyebrows, Frida Kahlo<\/strong> is a famous Latinx artist to be reckoned with. She was diagnosed with polio as a young child and was involved in a tragic bus accident at 18 that left her partially paralyzed and in lifelong pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her dreams of medical school dashed by her disabilities led her to create Mexican folk art scenes and self-portraits that blended pre-Columbian Mexican heritage and Catholic beliefs. None represents this juxtaposition better than Two Fridas<\/em><\/strong> at the Museo de Arte Moderno<\/a>, which depicts the artist herself in two forms. One wearing popular European attire on the left, and the other donning traditional Mexican garments on the right, with a single artery connecting the hearts of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you can find Frida Kahlo\u2019s work in galleries around the world, her childhood home in Mexico City has been converted into the Frida Kahlo Museum<\/strong><\/a>, showcasing Kahlo\u2019s work and her personal dress collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
