Frida with a broken

spinal column, a

broken collarbone,

broken ribs, abroken pelvis, and

11 fractures in her

right leg. Also, her

right foot was

dislocated and

crushed, and her

shoulder was out of

joint. Frida spent a

month lying on her

back. She was

encased in a

plaster cast and

enclosed in aboxlike structure.

She began painting

to pass the time

while healing in

bed. It became her

lifelong passion.

"I paint self portraitsbecause I am so

often alone.

Because I am thesubject

I know best."


11/32

Frida Kahlo may have felt alone, but through herpaintings, she has connected with many others. Inpainting the subject she knows best, she depicts herown personal pain, fear, anguish, loss - and even

joy. The rest of us marvel at how she can depict ourheartbreak, oursadness, ourloneliness. It's as if the

physical pain that frida was forced to endure gaveher the means to depict her feelings so honestly oncanvas.


12/32

Frida is often classified as a

Surrealist, however, she had

no special explanations for her

methods. She said only:

I put on the canvas

whatever comes into my

mind.

My thoughts about Diego

The marriage of DiegoRivera and Frida Kahlo isone of the most famousalliances between artists.It is a well-known fact thatthey had a passionate andstormy relationship, filledwith great love and alsobetrayals.

They both had incredibletalents and vision, butDiego's work would bemore public and

monumental, whereasFrida's was more personaland intimate in scale.

the painting.

The Legend of her Cremation

Legend has it when mourners gathered

to watch Fridas cremation, a

sudden blast of heat from the open

incinerator doors blew her body

bolt upright. Her hair was on fire

from the flames, and blazed around

her head like a halo. Fridas lips

appeared to break into a seductive

grin just as the doors closed shut.

Thus, she gave her audience one

last shock.

Assignment:

Paint your own self-portrait. You will be the main person-the focus- of the painting. You do not need to paintyour whole body. You can paint only your head andshoulders. You might want to paint a profile of yourself.

A profile is a side view. You may just want to usesymbols and objects to represent who you are.

Let your painting dry completely. Add bits of collageitems to your self-portrait. Add things that are importantto you. Include things that you love. Use photos,pictures cut from magazines, letters, or schoolwork. Youwill have other ideas of things to use. Stick them onwith white glue.
