In Chapter 3 of Udall's Places of Their Own I find it interesting to see the drastic different the mother's of Kahlo and O'Keefe played in their development as artists. It made me think of the nature vs nurture debate in rearing children. O'Keefe grew up in an environment where she was surrounded by art and encouraged to explore her artistic abilities. The environment she was brought led her to become a great and respected artists, which is characteristic of the nurture side of things. Kahlo on the other hand was brought up under the hand of a very traditional mother, who played the role of a housewife. There was not much creativity in Kahlo's strict environment however she still found a way to develop her artistic talent, showing that it is an innate and nurtured skilled. This is not to say that if O'Keefe had not been nurtured in her environment she wouldn't have become a great artist but it is also something that can be pondered.
