1. As Duas Fridas (1939)
As representações das duas Fridas are available in a single simple bench, green, at cost. As two people are linked by each other and with completely different dresses: when one of them wears a suit Tehuana, traditional Mexican (with a blue shirt), another dress with a pompous white dress in European style with a high collar and elaborate sleeves. Both represent different personalities experienced by Frida.
As it is estivessem refletidas not spello, both Fridas carry a dated, reflective and somber countenance. This double self-portrait foi feito logo apos a painter to divorce his love from her Diego Rivera.
Full of sauce, as duas deixam to show or heart. Frida, dressed in Europe, exhibits a surgical treasure with sangue. A unique artery (e o sangue) unites the two Fridas on canvas painted in 1939.

2. To Coluna Partida (1944)
A top canvas, painted in 1944, is deeply linked to the life of the painter and illustrates or uses her after a surgery that is submerged in the spinal column.
In the image we see Frida supported by a grega coluna that seems split, fractured, and at her head it is supported by no top of the coluna. Na painting Frida presents a spartilho that she of fate she had used in the period of recovery from surgery.
No rosto da artist lemos a expressão de dor e sofrimento, embora contained, acknowledged as soon as it peels the presence of tears. Frida mantém um olhar austere and perseverança. Ao I found, in a natural landscape, we see a dry field, sem life, also as provavelly felt like a painter.
Frida's entire body is outlined by pregos, a representation of the permanent relief that she felt.
In spite of being back with body hair, some pregos are older and allude to years of Frida being more sentient. It is worth frisking, for example, in the presence of a huge prego - or greatest of all - positioned bem perto do coração.
3. Henry Ford Hospital (1932)
A highly pessoal and highly pessoal painting portrays a painful period in Frida Kahlo's life. A painter, who always teve or dream of being mine, sofreu um spontaneous abortion when she was in the United States.
A gestação já presents complications and for this reason the doctors will recommend absolute repouse. In spite of everything or effort, even though I am not pregnant and Frida has lost her or a baby. Or abortion started at home, but it ended up not being the Henry Ford Hospital (which gives me a room and is registered for a long time to bed).
Deeply depressed I asked the painter to take him home or fetus, but I was not allowed. From the desires of the husband and the description of two doctors, Frida eternizou or filho morto na cloth painted in 1932.
Ao redor da painter, who is huddled in bed, bleeding, flutuam six elements. Besides the stillborn fetus, not the center of the cloth, we find a snail (second to the painter himself, a symbol of slowness of abortion) and an orthopedic gesso. At the bottom we see the symbol of a machine (supõe-I know it is a steam sterilizer provavelmente used not hospital), one osso da bacia and a lilás orchid, which would be offered by Diego Rivera.
4. Or Veado Ferido (1946)
Painted in 1946, or painting O Veado Ferido presents a metamorphosed creature, a mixture between the head of Frida and the body of an animal. In the expression of the painter, we do not see each other in despair, Frida appears serene and empathetic.
A escolha do animal não é fortuita: o veado é um a being that represents, at the same time, to elegance, to fragility and delicacy.
Perfumed by new mushrooms, or animal continues persevering, in motion. Five of the farms or back and four are found, not caught and next day. In spite of deeply ferido (had I been hit by a caçador?), O veado segue o seu caminho de ella.
We read the posture of the animal as an identification as Frida's behavior, who continued in the face of physical and psychological problems.

5. Self-portrait with Veludo Dress (1926)
Self-portraits are quite frequent in the production of a Mexican painter. That is even more special because I was considered to Frida Kahlo's first artwork, painted in 1926 for the former Alejandro Gómez Arias.
A fissure hair self-portraits arose after an accident of Bonde occurred in 1925, when Frida saw that she was subjected to a series of surgeries and was imprisoned in a hospital bed in Beira da Morte.
Given, with limited movements, you will have the idea of installing an adapted cavalete on the bed and tracer material for painting. They will also install mirrors or rooms so that Frida can see herself at various angles.
As she spent a lot of time, Frida sensed that it was or was her subject, and it sprang up with the idea of investing in painting self-portraits. A famous phrase of the painter is:
"I paint myself because I am sozinha and because I am or matter that I conheço melhor"
Ao founded Self-portrait with Veludo Dress we see the sea, symbol of life, and a unique nuvem creating difficulties with the path.
6. Meu Nascimento (1932)
On the canvas Meu Nascimento, painted in 1932, we see a depiction of the birth that was not the birth of Frida Kahlo. In a very strong image, she introduces me to be covered by um lençol branco, as she is still dead.
A given gives life to the painter: a mãe de Frida sofreu de depressão postpartum. Even if I can't breastfeed, Matilde Calderón engraved your logo two months after giving birth to Frida. For these reasons, Matilde gave menina to a mistress of the leite.
Na fabric we read or abandonment and or abandonment of the baby that sai do ventre gives me pratically sozinho. A menina seems to be growing fruit from her own action, with participation from me. Or quadro testemunha essa solidão initialthat Frida Viria to load hair rest gives life.
Year on the bed we observed a religious image of Virgem dos Lamentos, it is worth noting that to me of Frida, she was deeply Catholic.
7. Minha Ama e Eu (1937)
When Frida was born, my mother, Matilde Calderón, did not have enough to love her. It is speculated that I have also gone through a hard period of depression after giving birth and, when my baby was only 11 months old, Matildeteria gave birth to a new baby, Cristina. For these reasons, Frida was handed over to a mistress of indigenous leite. In practice it was relatively common in Mexico at the time.
A painting of Frida, raised in 1937, records this moment of her life. Disturbing, the image presents its own figure of the painter as a body of a baby and a head of an adult. A ama, for the time being, does not have defined feições and appears as an anonymous carrying a pre-Colombian mask. Year I found a natural landscape of a place not identified.
Do you know the love of a young lady or the leite that feeds little Frida. We see the image of the face of the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, where Frida is, we observe a more technical design, two paths that lead to the mother's gland.
In spite of being physically close - the baby is not found in the house - both figures seem to be emotionally distant, elas dry se olham.
8. Meus Avós, Meus Pais e Eu (1936)
A canvas painted in 1936 by Frida Kahlo is a creative illustrated genealogical tree. A small menininha at the center and Frida, who should have been around two years of age, was sure to have a fita vermelha that showed the family's gerações.
A menininha, nua, is out of enormous proportion stepping on a tree, proving to be linked to its roots. Logo above the country of the painter in an image that seems to have been inspired by a photograph of the marriage. No ventre da mãe is Frida, next to a fetus, tied by the umbilical cord. Logo below the fetus is an illustration of the finding of an ovum with a sperm.
Next to Frida's mother are you maternal care, or Antonio Calderón and his wife Isabel González y González. Next to her father are the European parents, Jakob Heinrich Kahlo and Henriette Kaufmann Kahlo.
A canvas illustrates the hybrid genealogy of Frida and through it we can, for example, trace physical characteristics of the painter. He gives paternal love to a painter who is wounded with the characteristics of the large and united cells.
In the background we see a green area with typical cacti of the central region of Mexico and a small town.
9. Frida and Diego Rivera (1931)
The picture that holds the most famous house in the Mexican plastic arts universe was painted in 1931. The portrait was offered by Frida to a friend and patron Albert Bender.
A bomb that appears hovering over the head of the painter carries a faixa with the following sayings: "Here you see me, Frieda Kahlo, with my beloved husband Diego Rivera. I painted this portrait in the beautiful city of São Francisco, California, for our friend, or Mr. Albert Bender, no more than April of 1931 ".
Frida was on occasion accompanying either her husband, or a muralist Diego Rivera. They were recently married and the famous Mexican painter had been invited to raise a series of murais at the Escola de Belas-Artes da Califórnia on the São Francisco Stock Exchange.
In painting we see Diego with the seus instruments of work na mão direita - you pinch and palette - enquanto a mão esquerda sure Frida, nessa mere occasion accompanying the journey of work husband.
Rivera appears as protagonist in painting, it is enough to repair to scale and to proportion compared to mulher. Na real life or painter was a truly robust home and older than Frida (precisely 30 centimeters), in the image we see this difference in dimensions evidenced.
10. O bonde (1929)
Um accident of bonde foi um two great tragic events that marked the life of Frida. Occurred on September 17, 1925 when the painter traveled as a lover, rumo to Coyoacán, or an accident that moved forever into Frida's life and became eternalized on canvas painted in 1929.
After an accident, a painter needed to go through a series of surgeries and imprisoned a hospital bed for months, or she had to paint in a cabinet positioned on her bed. Although she was forced to end her life, Frida also told her that you consider them to be an accident.
No painted register we see five passengers and a child sitting on the bench, calm, waiting for the final destination check-in. A criança is the only one that olha for fora, for a landscape. In addition to respecting the landscape, it is curious that two precedents run on the front or name La Risa, which means in Portuguese O Riso.
I do not bench you passageiros have completely different positions: we see a woman of indigenous origin descalça and A worker from Macacão enquanto we observed a house dressed as a lady who seems to be a house donut.
Frida's aesthetic
Deeply creative, in the vast work of the Mexican painter, we can find some patterns such as the use of live cores and the repetition of some themes that move the aesthetic of the breeder.
Among her most frequent themes of her are:
Self-portraits
As a consequence of an accident that has a youth, Frida stayed for a long time in bed or that she saw that her country installed a cavalete on a bed and some rooms without a room. By spending a lot of time observing the image itself, Frida resolved to invest in the creation of self-portraits. Among the most famous are: Self-portrait with macaque, Self-portrait with Pretty, Self-portrait with hairy dress and Self-portrait with Colar de Espinhos and Beija-flor
Family Representations
O berço de Frida was registered in her painting not only as a source of relief, but also as a way for the painter to perceive her genealogy and origin of her. This theme-two most powerful of its production of her-custom-to be represented by the fabrics Meu nascimento e Meus avós, my pais e eu.
Love
Diego Rivera, or Mexican muralist, was undisputedly the great love of life of Frida Kahlo. The consequences of this overwhelming relationship are also portrayed on many canvases by the painter. The main paintings that I recorded or found in the house: Frieda e Diego Rivera, Diego e eu e Diego em meu pensamento.
