Frida Kahlo-(1907-1954) ♛ Фрида Кало и нейните картини “ FRIDA KAHLO ” Фрида Кало запомнена със своите автопортрети
Frida Kahlo, was born on July 6th, 1907, in Coyoacàn, a part of Mexico City, one of four daughters to Matilde Calderón and Guillermo Kahlo. Мексиканската художничка Фрида Кало е запомнена със своите автопортрети, болка и страст и смели, живи цветове. Тя се празнува в Мексико за вниманието си към мексиканската и местната култура и от феминистки за изобразяването на женския опит и форма.
Кало, който като дете страдаше от полиомиелит, едва не загина при автобусна катастрофа като тийнейджър. Тя получи множество фрактури на гръбначния стълб, ключицата и ребрата, счупен таз, счупено стъпало и изкълчено рамо. Тя започна да се фокусира силно върху рисуването, докато се възстановяваше в гипс. През живота си е направила 30 операции.
Жиhейският опит е често срещана тема в приблизително 200 картини, скици и рисунки на Кало. Нейната физическа и емоционална болка са изобразени ярко върху платна, както и бурните й отношения със съпруга й, колегата художник Диего Ривера, за когото се омъжва два пъти. От нейните 143 картини 55 са автопортрети.
Разрушението за тялото й от катастрофата в автобуса е показано подробно в „Счупената колона“. Кало е изобразена почти гола, разцепена по средата, с гръбнак, представен като счупена декоративна колона. Кожата й е осеяна с нокти. Тя също е снабдена с хирургическа скоба.
Рисувам автопортрети, защото съм толкова често сам, защото съм човекът, когото познавам най-добре. "- Фрида Кало
Първият автопортрет на Кало е Автопортрет в кадифена рокля през 1926 г. Той е нарисуван в стила на мексиканските портретисти от 19-ти век, които самите са били силно повлияни от европейските майстори на Възраждането. Понякога тя също черпи от мексиканските художници, използвайки фон от завързани завеси. Автопортрет-Времето лети (1929), Портрет на жена в бяло (1930) и Автопортрет, посветен на Леон Троцки (1937), носят този фон.
Във втория си автопортрет „Времето лети“ Кало използва фолклорен стил и живи цветове. Тя носи селско облекло, а червеното, бялото и зеленото на картината са цветовете на мексиканското знаме.
През живота си автопортретът е тема, към която Фрида Кало винаги се връща, тъй като художниците винаги са се връщали към любимите си теми - Винсент ван Гог, неговите „Слънчогледи“, Рембранд, автопортрета си и Клод Моне, неговите водни лилии. However, Frida often claimed to have been born in 1910, the year of the Mexican Revolution. Frida was of both European, and Mexican heritage. Frida's entire life was plagued with suffering, Stricken with Polio at the age of six, one of her legs would remain smaller than the other, which of course attracted stares and teasing from other children. The young Frida, already showing incredible strength of character, decided she was going to be a doctor, which at the time, was not a common profession for women. But it was at the age of fifteen that her life-altering tragic accident occurred. In 1925, as she was returning home from school, a tram crashed into her bus. She was found barely alive, covered in gold dust, and with a handrail stuck through her body; her spine and pelvis were broken, and so were her right leg, and foot.



It was while recovering from her extensive injuries in the hospital that Frida began to paint. Although Frida's family sacrificed almost all they had in order to get her the best available care, but she never fully recovered, and was forced to used braces and custom made corsets in order to be able to just walk and stand. Frida's parents even had a special easel custom made to accommodate her condition. Frida gave up on becoming a doctor, and decided to continue painting. Her accident had not only changed the course of her life, it would also prove to be a main source of inspiration for her work, which was mostly comprised of sometimes disturbing self-portraits, images of death, and suffering.



In 1929, the 22 year-old Frida marries the 43 year old Diego Rivera, a famous painter of murals who would soon thereafter become her husband. The two were drawn together on many levels, first off, was art, then Communism, and also their interest in traditional Mexican Indian culture. The two were part of the Communist party for a short while, but they were ousted because of Diego's opposition to Joseph Stalin's crackdown on Trotsky's Left Opposition. Although the couple did share intense passion, Frida had been left barren by her accident, so they never had children; this was also a central theme in her work, and in some of her self-portraits, Frida would include her pet spider monkey as a surrogate child, looking like the infant Christ of Religious icons. Many of her paintings were also quite bloody, and included internal organs shown on the outside, again, comparisons to images of Christ and the "Sacred Heart" can be made, but we would greatly be wrong to think her work was the product of a self-centered individual.



When she wasn't too occupied with her involvement in politics and intellectual discussion groups, Frida also spent time teaching at La Esmeralda art school. Although Rivera had been instrumental in her success, he considered her an equal, and although he was often unfaithful to Frida, he was never disloyal. Rivera had mistresses, and Frida had lovers, including some women, and Marxist writer Leon Trotsky, whom the couple had gracefully welcome into their home, offering asylum during dangerous times. Frida and Diego divorced in 1939, but they remarried in 1940, realizing their passion was stronger than their physical needs, and that their relationship could work if they tried to control their temperaments.



In addition to Diego's admiration, Frida also impressed artists and critics worldwide. French surrealist André Breton played a major part in bringing her work to the attention of Americans. Although she appreciated Breton's respect, she was quick to deny claims that she was part of the surrealist movement, simply stating, "I never painted my dreams. I painted my own reality." Frida's reality was a reality of passion, and of suffering. In 1953, Frida's leg was amputated, shortly thereafter, on July 13, 1954, at the age of 47, she died in her sleep, apparently from an embolism. There is a fair bit of speculation that she took her own life, escaping the pain of her existence. Frida Kahlo was the first Latin-American woman to sell a painting for a million dollars, and her popularity seems to grow with each passing year; from endorsements by popular artists such as Madonna, to a critically acclaimed bio-pic starring acclaimed actors Salma Hayek, and Alfred Molina.Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her self-portraits, pain and passion, and bold, vibrant colors. She is celebrated in Mexico for her attention to Mexican and indigenous culture and by feminists for her depiction of the female experience and form.
Kahlo, who suffered from polio as a child, nearly died in a bus accident as a teenager. She suffered multiple fractures of her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, broken foot and a dislocated shoulder. She began to focus heavily on painting while recovering in a body cast. In her lifetime, she had 30 operations.
Life experience is a common theme in Kahlo's approximately 200 paintings, sketches and drawings. Her physical and emotional pain are depicted starkly on canvases, as is her turbulent relationship with her husband, fellow artist Diego Rivera, who she married twice. Of her 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits.
The devastation to her body from the bus accident is shown in stark detail in The Broken Column. Kahlo is depicted nearly naked, split down the middle, with her spine presented as a broken decorative column. Her skin is dotted with nails. She is also fitted with a surgical brace.
I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best." - Frida Kahlo
Kahlo's first self-portrait was Self-Portrait in a Velvet Dress in 1926. It was painted in the style of 19th Century Mexican portrait painters who themselves were greatly influenced by the European Renaissance masters. She also sometimes drew from the Mexican painters in her use of a background of tied-back drapes. Self-Portrait - Time Flies (1929), Portrait of a Woman in White (1930) and Self-Portrait Dedicated to Leon Trotsky (1937) all bear this background.
In her second-self portrait, "Time Flies," Kahlo uses a folk style and vibrant colors. She wears peasant clothing, and the red, white and green in the painting are the colors of the Mexican flag.
During her life, self portrait is a subject that Frida Kahlo always returns to, as artists have always returned to their beloved themes - Vincent van Gogh his Sunflowers, Rembrandt his Self Portrait, and Claude Monet his Water Lilies.
