Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo is a female Mexican painter whose artwork can be used to understand the world in which she lived as well as offer insight into the way she identified herself. Frida Kahlo grew up surviving and battling lifelong struggles with sicknesses including being diagnosed with Polio at an early age leaving her permanently disabled. As her life progresses, more serious illnesses would follow, including pneumonia and a forced amputation eventually leading to her untimely death. Frida Kahlo was one of few women of her time to receive a proper education, and this would help shape her strong political views prior to the Mexican Revolution.
Frida Kahlo's paintings can be understood as a reflection of herself. In the painting pictured with the thorn necklace, it can be understood that Kahlo must have felt helpless as the thorns would be causing harm. This can be depicted by the time when she was painting this piece, which was during a period in which she was extremely sick in the hospital after being involved in a serious accident. Her art pieces attempt to capture and reflect herself in her current moments or capture a moment in which she depicts herself in her own style.
Frida Kahlo Bio
How sad her life was. However, I believe the short time of her living was very much concentrated on focusing on her education and artwork. I see that she was excellent on both of them from the way she created her beautiful works, with vivid colors, stunning depictions, and beautiful nature background.
