About the Double Portrait Frida Kahlo Painting
This large double self portrait by Frida Kahlo
was painted around the time time of her divorce
with the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. Kahlo
wore her heart on her sleeve when she painted,
in this case almost literally. In the Frida
wearing a green dress, she holds a small portrait
of Diego Rivera.
Frida Kahlo said "Since my subjects
have always been my sensations, my states
of mind and the profound reactions that life
has been producing in me, I have frequently
objectified all this in figures of myself,
which were the most sincere and real thing
that I could do in order to express what I
felt inside and outside of myself." |
