“Kahlo had a few spider monkeys that she kept as pets. She named the one in the painting Fulang-Chang. The artist might have painted the pink ribbon connecting them to show how close she felt to her monkey. What animal would you want to show in a painting? How would you show how you feel about that animal?”

For #InternationalDogDay 🐶:
#DYK Edvard Munch loved dogs? He owned many during his life, including various terriers, Gordon Setters, St. Bernards, Rottweilers, and a Samoyed. You can find many of them among his works of art, including these cuties!
