A source of controversy related to Frida Kahlo
Hidden behind the portraits of Frida Kahlo is the remarkable story of the artist’s life. It is precisely this combination that attracts the spectator. Frida’s work is a testimony of her life; it is not often that one can understand an artist simply by looking within the frame of their paintings. Frida Kahlo is without any doubt Mexico’s gift to art history.

弗里达和迭戈 池塘一样的特点
迭戈·里维拉。弗里达·卡萝。博物馆不断推出新的展览，一遍又一遍地呈现相同的作品。是不是这只是我们都在重复的一个课程？一个我们永远都不能“通过”的垄断机制？一个我们似乎从来没有能够从中醒来的梦？ 不，实际上它不是。我们可以从弗里达和迭戈，以及正在展出的所有其他艺术家（无论是一次，两次，或两千次）身上学习到的是，他们的作品是非常重要的。通过一次、两次甚至两千次的学习，我们也不能搜集到关于一幅画我们需要知道的一切。 艺术就像一个池塘的倒影。水本身保持不变，但被反射出的东西在不断变化。以大致相同的方式，雨滴，表面的涟漪，和池塘的环境可能会改变，我们对于主题和艺术家的知识，情感，理解和同情也在不断地发生着变化。 所以，下一次你感到沮丧，厌倦，无聊，或者兴奋，欣喜若狂，狂热，那就去一个艺术画廊或博物馆，再次看看对你来说可能已经变得非常熟悉的画。例如弗里达·卡罗，在她的许多自画像里，她皱着眉头或者傻笑了吗？迭戈·里维拉赞美了他所尊重的一个女人的身影，或者炫耀他的许多次征战了吗？请让我也知道！ 链接：

Art, Garden, Life: Re-Imagining Frida Kahlo
Most people who are confronted by seemingly insurmountable pain and catastrophe succumb to the depression, much less are able to channel their despair in a creative way. Frida Kahlo, one of the most influential and important artistic personalities of the 20th century, only began painting after she was confined to a bed for three months following a near-fatal bus crash. Kahlo said of her paintings: “I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” Magnetic, vibrant, sexual, but borne into a body riddled by disease, miscarriage, and a crippling accident—Kahlo managed to make her own life into a work of art.
