Little Frida Kahlo
Many people know her from the most paining feeling images, which are prevalent in pop culture and the internet. Some feminists recorded her as the opinion leader. Like many deceased people.
On this occasion, I would like to invite you to get to know Frida through her own images, that she has drawn as many as 55 images (out of 143 drawings in total) for 47 years to breathe. But before saw her works let know her background.
Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderon is her full name.
She was born at Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico on July 6th, 1907. Her father as a German photographer.
Which is true as because Frida started drawing seriously at the age of 18, during her recuperation from a bus crash with a train. At that time, she couldn’t move her lower body and had to wear a full cast to support the broken and crushed bones. She has to spend time in bed all day. Her father gave her a drawing device.
And here are the creations of love and fissure throughout the life of a Mexican woman
In an accident 1926, Frida was sitting on the bus with her boyfriend, who pulled the spike out of her stomach and carried her up from the ruins. Sounds like the beginning of eternal love. Both of them must break up because her boyfriend’s parent deprived in the relationship and took her boyfriend to Europe.
Frida was so sad that miss response from her boyfriend.
Until 1929, Frida is married to Diego Riviera, during opposition mind from the family. Diego was older than her in 21-years old, but she didn’t care, and Diego is also a leading communist in Mexico City.
In pic 2, Frida painted while she followed her husband work in San Franciso and the picture shown they supported each other and love hard until 1932, Frida had to pain because she is a second miscarriage. And she painted herself lying naked and blood in the bed with the blood to show how pain she faced.
In 1937, it’s the most hundred hurt of life when she known her husband gave love to her real sister.
She was drawing as the full pain of heart and tear.
She was lonely until she was with Fulang-Chang, the monkey she received from Diego and many believe that a monkey represents as a child that she could not have to Diego.
After the divorce from Diego and returned to Mexico.
She provided herself as an artist paints and the most creative paints made her known in-country and other countries with the un-descript how beautiful and creative picture.
Which her reputation as an artist in Mexico, and earn much money, she had never forgotten Diego, her former husband always on her mind and will always until the day of death although she couldn’t be the owner that why she painted him on her forehead. In 1943 pic.
In the 1940s, Frida had many problems of her health and had to wear 28 corsets to support her back including hand infection. She was so torturing and more depression when her father had been passed away in 1941 she became more attached to the house. Continuously create and forward the feelings through more work.
The last image is Viva La Vida, 1954. it is the simple image of watermelon, meaning Day of the Dead in Mexican culture.
While drawing this picture Frida lost her right leg which she wrote in her diary that “I’m waiting for the happiness to pass away And hope to not come back again.
