Like Cindy Sherman, Frida Khalo also depicted herself in a lot of her artwork. However, Cindy Sherman depicted herself playing the roles of different women. Frida Khalo, on the other hand, painted self-portraits of herself. Another similartity that is evident with Frida Khalo is that she also portrayed the female figure and her role in society in her work. In this portrait, for example, she portrays herself wearing a dress that was typical attire for the women of her Mexican culture. Frida Khalo also uses a mizture of symbolism and realism in her artwork. Also, while Ciu Xiuwen and Cindy Sherman execute their work through photography and technology, Frida Khalo used oil paint. One more difference is that Frida Khalo expressed her own suffering by including herself in her artwork. Therefore, Cindy Sherman's purpose to include herself in her art was different than that of Frida Khalo.
