Las Dos Fridas (The Two Fridas) – Frida Kahlo Painting

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Calderon, or Frida Kahlo, was a catamount born in Mexico in 1907 and died in 1954. Her father was German and her mother was Mexi arsehole Indian. From her childhood, she was diagnosed with polio, a disease that infects the spine, and the disease left(a) her right leg distorted. At 18, return from her art school, the bus she was riding in hit a tram and an iron out bar pierced her abdomen/ pelvic girdle area. Her legs and vertebrae suffered serious damage. The accident was a routine point in her life. In her hospital bed, she installed a mirror above her bed. She mixed many works, most of which were self- delineations.In 1928, Frida met Diego Riv while, whom she married a year later. She could not have children with him beca persona of the accident. Frida was a huge part of the surrealism movement, and a right example of this would be her painting, Las Dos Fridas (The dickens Fridas). This work was painted in 1939, briefly after her divorce from Di ego Rivera. The painting depicts ii different personalities, or versions of her, sitting on a bench. The Frida on the left is habilitate in a Victorian era marriage ceremony dress (this depicts the Frida that Diego left), and the cardinal on the right wears a Tehuana, which is the part of Frida that Diego love and respected.The joins of the ii Fridas are exposed. The one on the lefts heart is broken, and the one on the rights heart is whole. The fact that she is holding her avouch hand could suggest that she wants us to call in that she is her only companion. The composition of the foreground makes the two women the centre of attention, and the gloomy sky in the background could reflect inner turm vegetable oil. contempt the deeper meaning of the portrait, both Fridas look equally as confident and officious.Movement in this portrait is very little, the only subject we can see that is actively moving is the slide artery from her heart which is squirting blood. This is the scratch line thing that caught my attention. I think, paired with the scissors in her hand, this could imply self-destruction however giving the circumstances one would be right to assume heartbreak. The actual stand for of the painting is very pristine, with her use of oil on canvas. The brush strokes are delicate, specific and give a realistic effect. on that points a lot of depth in the painting, standardised in the folds of her dresses and the use of shadow.Frida has shown light and swart tones clearly by making herself the lightest and most vibrant reduce in the area, which in contrast, is very dark and almost sinister. Despite the contrast, theres still a sort of dark all throughout the painting. The portrait gives an overall negative vibe it makes me feel good-hearted towards her. The use of line is very perspicacious and is immaculately blended. The most colourful thing in the foreground is the happy Frida on the right, who wears blue, orange, and gold tones. Th ere doesnt seem to be an obvious colour scheme.Frida in the white dress is very soggy it complies of subtle tones of olive and lilac, and overall the wedding dress is a blend of proportionate colours. The painting is, in my opinion, half heatless tones and half warm tones. The representation of herself in the painting is realistic but her appearance of painting gives it an almost cartoon effect. I really adore this painting. I like it because its obviously something which holds much deeper meaning. Its symbolic of heartbreak, despair and deceitfulness but, ultimately, is a representation of empowerment and sticking by your side when no one else will.
