Hello guys, how are you?
Today I
come to speak about a painter I found in my art classes in school: Frida Kahlo.
For those who do not know I will present a
short summary:
Frida Kahlo was born in 1907 in a small town in Mexico.
Frida attended the National Preparatory School
in the Federal District of Mexico and attended the drawing classes and
modeling.
With about 18 years suffered a tram accident .
The bumper of a vehicle pierced his back and went out through the vagina,
causing severe bleeding. Frida spent a long time in hospital and had to make several surgeries.
During his long convalescence, he began
painting.
In 1928, she met the muralist Diego Rivera,
whom he married the following year.
In 1938 André Breton qualifies his work of
surreal. Nevertheless, she says later: ‘’Find I am a surrealist, but I'm not. Never
painted dreams. Always painted my own reality’'.
In 1953 the Contemporary Art Gallery organized
a major exhibition in his honor.
Frida also had a released movie:
‘’FRIDA’’- Trailler
Frida has several famous works, but in this
post I will explain the meaning of one of his works (according to my art teacher) :
My dress hanging /New York -1933
(I have listed to stay easier)
1-the
toilet that is for Frida all values were called “La gran caca Americana”
2- the
dress: the body of Frida was in the US, but his soul was in Mexico
3- beneath
the dress has people begging. Means the hunger that fell in the US after the
economic crisis (1829)
4- the
trophy shows the importance that the US give the sport
5- the
trash means the values that oppress the people of the Americas
6- the
Statue of Liberty represents the American power
7-the
industries show the value that people give to capitalism, instead of giving to
humans
8-the church,the
postituta and the US Congress symbolizes the hypocrisy of American society
9-the fire
means that everything should be burned
