Frida Kahlo Tactile Portrait

Title: Frida Kahlo Tactile Portrait

Description: This image was selected for tactile graphic production for its content as well as context. As a photograph, it requires significant interpretation on the part of the designer, including how to represent 3-dimensional shapes 2-dimensionally, and what to prioritize in terms of composition. An image of famous artist Frida Kahlo, this photo presents an entry into the art world that is often quite limited to BVI audiences. Kahlo’s self-portraiture is a prominent theme in her work, and so a portrait of the artist, taken by her father, offers an introduction to her (visually) well-known features.
