And besides, Kahlo was a communist, so her relationship with the world was not purely contemplative, but very practical, political and contentious. At the same time she knew that not even agit-art can do without meditative space.

扇動的芸術

Explanation:
多分フランス語のagit-propから来ているのだと思います。

Both hearts are connected to a locket containing a picture of Rivera. Despairing, the weaker Frida attempts to staunch the blood flow from Rivera, which endangers her life. The sky is filled with stormy clouds that convey Kahlo’s agitation, and in profound loneliness, she holds her own hand and is her sole companion.

個人的な意見ですがカーロの作品からagitationは、感じますがpropagandaは、感じませんね。
agitateも扇動するというよりは「心をかき乱す」の方が近いですね。

宣伝扇動的芸術

Explanation:
In your passage above, it begins with "...besides, Kahlo was a ”communist”, so her relationship with the world was not purely contemplative, but very practical, political and contentious.

In the second part where it says, "At the same time she knew that not even agit-art can do without meditative space" I think it is talking about "agit-art" as a socio-political "agitated" art. Therefore, I have used, 宣伝扇動的芸術.

Agit-art is an art that derives its name from agit-prop. Agit-art has socio-political (propaganda) undertones. Recent examples of agit-art are murals, etc. that create awareness of the ecological movement, etc.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/プロパガンダ
レーニンは宣伝と扇動を政治闘争に不可欠なものとし、「宣伝扇動」(agitprop)という名でそれを表した。このレーニンの理論に基づき、ソビエト共産党をはじめとする共産陣営はかつて無い規模の宣伝活動を行った。そのためソ連は「世界初の宣伝国家」とも呼ばれる。

- I was thinking that "宣伝扇動的アート" would be an alternative way of expressing this art form.
- Using the word "アート" in this case has a more "modern feel" to it and perhaps better suits the interpretation of Frieda Kahlo's iconoclastic life and art.
