The Broken Column, done in 1944, may be the one of Frida''s paintings that show the pain she was feeling the most. The Column itself, which is broken, shows one of the sources of her pain, the nails in her body show in a physical way the pain she was enduring, and the tears in Frida''s eyes show that her pain was excruciating.

In 1939 Diego and Frida divorced, and Frida felt very sad and distraught by this. She produced many fine paintings in this period, but being devastated by the divorce, she consumed a lot of liquor, and her health deteriorated rapidly. She had circulatory and other problems associated with the incidents she had had before.

In 1928, after Diego had left Lupe Marin and returned from the Soviet Union, Frida and Diego met again, fell in love, and in 1929 they married.

Self-Portrait, 1930

While Frida was confined to her bed, her mother brought her a small lap easel, and Frida started to paint. She had studied art before, at the National Preparatory School, where she had met Diego Rivera when he was painting the Creation mural, but Frida had never worked on paintings before. Over her bed, Frida had a mirror so she could see herself, and this was the beginning of her focus on self portraits.

This painting shows Frida Kahlo standing in between Mexico and the United States. In her left hand she holds a Mexican flag made of papel picado (cut paper--a traditional Mexican art form) that crosses over to the Mexican side. In her right hand she holds a cigarette. Frida wears a pink dress, lace gloves, a coral and jade necklace, braided hair and stands on top of a concrete block inscribed "Carmen Rivera painted her picture in 1932." The right side of the image is dominated by what Kahlo sees as a representation of industry and the US. The right half has in its foreground a red blaring speaker, a dark flood light, some type of machine, the concrete block, and cables from all these mechanisms inside the earth. The middle ground is dominated by gray unidentified pipes and shafts in a dirty beige background. The background is engulfed by a sky scraped horizon. Smokestacks spew fumes in which flies the American flag. The name "Ford" is written across these industrialized chimneys. A small part of the painting is devoted to a piece of blue sky. The left half of the panel illustrates nature and a Mesoamerican/Mexican landscape. The foreground shows a colorful variety of plants and cacti, in bud and in bloom. The roots penetrate the earth to form a weblike pattern. The middle ground is dark brown and has two fertility figures (one light and one dark), along with rubble and a stone skeleton's head. The horizon is dominated by a mountainous Mexican pyramid. The sky has two cloud formations: one containing a fire spewing sun and the other embedded with the moon. The meeting of these two formations yield a red lightning bolt.

Pretty gruesome huh? I watched the movie "Frida" and I thought it was a very powerful and impacting account of her life and Diego's. I was completely amazed with her cojones-and his! Especially messing 'round with her sister. I loved the fact that they were all POLITICOS in that infant ala Mexicana/extranjeras era of Las politicas.
kick-ass

Frida and Diego are two of my most admirable folks-one that they were RADICALs in the political scene,and two that they were distinguised MEXICAN artists. I love the fact that they travelled extensively, and that even in the early history of art especially here in the U.S. they represented their nationalism through the arts-It would be so kick-ass to see a combined travelling exhibit soon here in the states.
