Frida Kahlo, a woman I amire for her work and all the courage she mustered to get through her life of hardships. She was proud of who she was, though, the life given to herwas utterly unfair and of endless pain for her to pain. Her individuality liners long after she is gone,her ideas and perspective is better appreciated now, much like her art, which was synonymous with allthat she believed in. Her blatant depiction of all that life has hrown her way, how she illustrated her pain and suffering, her life within marriage and her life outside of marriage. Her depiction of her self ws very true because she believed that if she was sent on planet earth with what she had, it must be beautiful and proper for her. Every floweron Kahlo's head illustrated how she compared herself with the beauty of nature and how she feels about the flower only complementing and adding to her beauty. Kahlo was persistant, she depicted herself in many ways but most of them were seen as a description of her pain, the flowers were a mere diversion from the pain the pain of loss and suffering.
This art work helped me make an observation, on the strength of a woman and how it aids her in dealing with a complicated reality. The reality that has nothing to do with behaviour. Cause-effect has lost all meaning and all that is left is strength. a sub-dued strength, a reality that pulls back, our internal strength and in turn, us.
Her life, though constantly moving, sustained pain and sufferinig.
The use of colour remained a constant in her art, it was also probably what kept her from dying of monotony and hat kept her art from turing completely to the dark side.
Every detail in this artwork leaves an idea, a subtle hint, a minute sense into Kahlo's reality. Every element presented here is well thought of, individually and hence put together into a composition. It talks f her ain and how she was worn out andcompletely depressed once she realises she may never be able to bear a child. she felt hatred for the body that she has been given and for a very long time, she obsessed over the idea of this pain. Her self portraits are an attempt to heal and find herself happy and far from self-loathing
