Frida Kahlo's life has been marked by pain: she suffered from polio as a child, which made it difficult for her to walk; a near-fatal car accident at the age of 18, which led to numerous surgeries throughout her life; and abortions and miscarriages, which left her traumatised. Then, of course, there was also her affair with Diego Rivera, a series of extramarital experiences, and her tense relationship with her mother.
Caro's painful experiences are infused into her art, giving rise to awe-inspiring creativity admired by the world.
She began painting in 1925, using a custom-made easel on her lap and a mirror mounted on the canopy of her bed, as she was recovering from a nine-month bus accident. For the next 20 years, Carol painted the fragility, life, death and decay of the human body with an unforgettably poignant brushwork.
She once said: "I paint myself because I am often alone, and I know myself best. Of her 143 surviving oil paintings, 55 are self-portraits.
"The Broken Column" A serious car accident left her with a lifelong illness as a teenager. Although her beloved partner, Rivera, was physically and emotionally in tune with her, Rivera's irrevocable flirtatiousness and conceit hurt Carol over and over again.
My feeling: Although her life was full of unhappiness, he was, in fact, a self-healer and devoted to self-reflection through his art in the paintings of the Lord. . No matter how fragile a woman's heart may be, she can still grit her teeth and move forward after suffering. The brokenness of the self constitutes the greatest strength in her art, the fatal wound to the body and the deadly damage to the heart, but it is her unique creation that heals and reconstructs herself through self-portraits. When I look at Carol's self-portraits, it is as if I am gazing at a woman peeling back her innermost being with a brush, and I see in them the raw expression of a woman's innermost being.
Perhaps the charm of Kahlo has endured because there is a Kahlo in everyone's heart. Life may not be beautiful, but it is a kind of sublimation when one paints one's own face and life's journey, weaving in all the pain and suffering to mend the imperfections of life. His honesty and honesty are moving.
After studying her paintings, I discovered that she had a film about her life, so I watched it immediately. After watching the film, I did not mainly get to know her better, but perhaps I felt more of her pain and difficulties. Her pursuit of art and her perseverance in life, although she does not have a smile on her face, she has a strong heart. For a woman, what is beauty, what is nobility? Frida gives her answer: to be true to her own personality and to show one's own presence. Beauty is an objective thing.
Whether tall or short, fat or thin, wealthy or socially privileged, a truly beautiful person has an aura of her own.
She is Frida Kahlo. A Mexican national treasure, a stubborn wildflower.
