Frida Kahlo: The Pain, Passion and Resilience of the great Mexican Artist

[@erikamiranda8407]

Her life story makes me cry, I can't help it. I was born in Mexico and grew up there the firsts years of my life. I recall walking downtown Mexico City and walking into an exhibition of her work. I believe that's when my admiration for painting started. She lived so intensely, all her emotions were so intense and she reflected it so well in her work!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

She was a great painter. I know of no one who explored the human condition as intensely as she did.

[@canalsentir]

..yes, agree, i read somewhere not long ago, that there is rumour she commited suicide. I don't think she/they were happy people..😐

The painting of "all the religions under the sun" is fascinating. Id never seen it before. Her later work didnt look careless to me, I find it beautiful. She was an amazingly creative being. "I hope the exit is joyous and I hope never to return". I love it; shes referring to leaving the body which had been a torturous trap for so long and the last part "and I hope never to return" shows that she knew about re incarnation and hoped she never would again, she had suffered enough . A great woman, a great artist, a great soul . The film "Frida" is a fine exposition of her life, beautifully filled with her and Diego's paintings and is an accurate description of her life , as in this video. The special effects used to show each new painting as she created it are fascinating .

“Frida had enough of America and Americans” After these past 4 years, I feel the same way.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

I know what you mean, amazing how one individual can cause such mayhem.

[@sooz5703]

Her disliking America and Americans could merely be due to cultural differences, or through the lens of the communist ideology she clearly held dear. I don't know about you but someone who paints Hitler into a wall of heroes, to me doesn't have good judgement.

[@janegarner6739]

@@sooz5703 I'm no expert on Kahlo's life or work & don't know why she included Hitler as a subject in this painting, although there's no doubt she wasn't an admirer or supporter of Hitler or his views. The inclusion of his portrait in the painting was probably due to complex reasons which might be analyzed if one thoroughly studied her life & work, but it is certain she was no fascist or Nazi. Also, her view of the Native peoples of Mexico & their art from pre-Hispanic times would preclude any form of extreme racism. In fact, she & Diego deeply admired native cultures of both past & present. Their views on this matter were fairly close to the popular view that was developing for several decades after the Mex. Revolution, a view adopted by the state as well. This is a very complex view which can't be defined or explained here for lack of space. Many books have been written on this. But in brief, many artists & writers were a part of the post-revolutionary movement that supported the view that Mexicans were a new 'race', a new people, born from the mixture of ancestry that arose after the 1521 conquest of Tenochtitlan (now Mex. City, formerly the center of the Aztec civilization & state). That is, combined ancestry of many peoples, including Spanish, Aztec-Mexico & other native peoples, African (from the Moors who accompanied the early Spaniards to Mex., as well as the Africans brought as slaves to Mex.), the idea being that a new people ('race') was born. (This idea is called 'La Raza', & there are many books on the subject, also there were & are many views on the subject.) In many ways a new culture did arise after 1521, & though the Spanish were the dominant class & rulers, the new culture inherited much from the Aztec & other native cultures. To understand Kahlo's view of the US, a general knowledge of US/Mexico history is needed. The US had repeatedly interfered with the politics inside Mexico, attempting to force the post-revolutionary (1920 on) gov. to submit policies favoring US corporate interests. The 'banana republic' form of gov. instituted by the US in Central Am. was in full sway during those years, with the US largely controlling various nations in the region. Mexico, as a socialist state born from both the Euro. forms of socialism & the Native Mexican peoples' forms of socialism, was struggling to maintain independence from US interference (both governmental & corporate) during the decades following the revolution. There was mention in the video of the overthrow of the gov. of Guatamala, but nothing was said about how the US (with heavy corporate pressure) had the freely elected president of Guatamala overthrown by violence, in its place installing a puppet rulership of the military junta that ruled Guatamala for decades afterwards. This junta not only persecuted the native peoples of Guatamala, it followed a policy of outright genocide against the Indians of Guatamala that didn't end till into the 1980s, with millions of Native Guatemalans dead as a result. As Guatamala borders Mexico & as many Guatamalans are of Maya ancestry & related to Maya peoples of Mexico, Kahlo would have known what was happening there. Even in '80 when I traveled in the Yucatan Pen. by bus to near the border with Guat., the ongoing terror of the genocide was clear to anyone who had even a brief glimpse of the situation near the border. Many Maya live in that region of Mex. & the fear these people felt was very apparent even to a visitor like myself, although I spent only half a day in the bus depot in a small village. Refugees from Guat. were pouring into Mexico, mostly illegally, & their Mex. relatives were trying to help. The US was still supporting the genocidal junta in Guatamala until a few yrs later that support waned because of international outrage at the continuing.genocide. The situation on other nearby nations was very similar--both direct & indirect support by the US had resulted in US-puppet rule & genocide of native peoples. In the US, little was reported on what was happening in Guat. & other nearby nations, even at the height of the genocide in Guat., but it received wide coverage in Mexico & elsewhere. The point is, in the US we don't get much coverage of events that primarily affect indigenous peoples (within the US or in states to the south), & probably most Americans still don't know that the US overthrew the elected gov. of Guat. & installed a military junta which (with US support) waged a genocidal war against the Indian peoples of Guatemala for decades. Nor do most people here know about US involvement in El Salvador or other states, or about US involvement in Mexico in the 20th c. US interference in the region has received widespread coverage in Mexico though, as a rule for decades. Of course Kahlo would've been aware of these events. The US had interfered with the Mex. government both before. after the rev., & after '20 had interfered strongly to force Mexico to abandon the very changes at the heart of the revolution. Mexico's plan to fairly redistribute land to both the peasant class (peons who had long lived as near-slaves on the massive plantations/recomiendas owned by the ruling class & by the Church--this redistribution of the huge land holdings (awarded by Spain to the conquistadors & to the Church equally in the 1520s) was to be given to the peons & Indians who had worked that land. This redistribution of land was meant to end the systemic poverty of the majority, mainly people descended from the native peoples as well as from African & some Sp. ancestry, who were to form cooperatives to work the land & to fairly share the benefits. This redistribution began after '20 but was thwarted within a few years, the US having a hand of course. Kahlo, being a Marxist (or at least a Communist--she & other Marxists had supported Trotsky in defiance of USSR leadership & the Marxist Party), would have known of the US involvement that subverted the post-rev. aims & policies. She could hardly have felt kindly.toward the US gov. & the corporate classes that had long dominated the states south of the border. Undoubtedly she would also have experienced the racism & prejudice so prevalent in the US toward people of color & toward 'Hispanic' people. (Not that Mexico was free of racism against Indians & Af-descent people, but it was usually less overt.)

[@fleurdeb7803]

As a licensed massage therapist, I had several clients who unfortunately endured spinal fusion surgery. Every last one regretted it. I don't know what took me so long to realize, but that had to be what Frida had, as depicted in the related painting. It only gives me greater empathy and respect for her as a relentlessly honest creative professional with some of the greatest documented talent ever seen in one individual. Interestingly, I was just watching The Unexpected Gypsy right before this, and she mentioned a quote about turning roadblocks into stepping stones. Boy, did Frida ever do that, and in spades!!! Just imagine what she might have done with the current trends of creating your own tarot deck. I don't think she would have appreciated AI at all, but digital tablets and styluses with Procreate or similar, perhaps. Also, for some reason I thought all Frida's pregnancies ended in miscarriage, but she had abortions, as well. So had she lived in a red state in the modern US, we might have lost her at a very young age to the consequences of her pelvic injury. It really puts things in perspective. Thanks again, Paul. You do brilliant work. 💖💖💖

What a remarkable woman 🤩

She certainly was

It’s hard for me to understand her, not that anyone can fully understand anyone else. I wish I would have had the chance to talk to her, away from the contemporary gushing. Her style of painting holds no interest for me, but her contradiction is amazing.

You are right it is difficult to understand the thinking of an individual, who has been through so much trauma. Her work reflects that from a feminine point of view.

I believe some people could construe her work to be slightly narcissistic. I don't think this is the case as some artist paint the world looking out while others paint the world looking inward.
