Born Fanny Rabinovich, she was a Mexican painter and printmaker, also known as "La Fanny de los Fridos". Her family moved to Mexico City in 1938 to escape the Second World War. Rabel's first exhibition was held at the Liga Popular Israelita in 1941 where Frida Kahlo, her teacher at the time, wrote of her: "Fanny Rabinovich paints as she lives, with great courage, intelligence and sensibility... But what I find most interesting in her painting is the profound roots that link the tradition and strength of her people (Jews). It's not a personal style, but rather socialist. She's worried about class problems and has observed with incredible maturity the character and style of her models, giving them always particularly lively emotions. All of this without pretentiousness and full of femininity and class that make her work so complete." Rabel worked as a muralist with Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros; other famous teachers were Santos Balmori and Francisco Zúñiga. She was a founding member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP) and is considered one of the four "Fridos," along with Arturo Estrada, Arturo Garcia Bustos, and Guillermo Monroy.
