Exploring the profound pain and passion of frida kahlo's art
What passed through frida kahlo’s head and into her art was some of the most original and dramatic imagery of the twentieth century
Painting herself bleeding, weeping, cracked open, she transmuted her pain into art with remarkable frankness tempered by humor and fantasy. The painting also reflects her stormy relationship with diego rivera, whom she married in 1929 but was divorcing in 1939 while painting this picture She told an art historian at the time that the mexican image was the frida whom diego loved, and the european image was the frida he did not.
