Frida is always exploring herself and who she is in the world. Her identity as a woman and as a Mexican is undeniable in her work. When I look at her paintings I also see her pain. She was very injured in life. Her body was broken and so was her heart. She loved intensely and that emmantes from her work. It was very difficult to select just one painting from her body of work but I finally settled on this one: Frida as the hunted deer is both haunting and sad. I can feel her fragility when I look at this painting. I would like to recommend to you the PBS documentary, The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo http://www.pbs.org/weta/fridakahlo/ Amazon.com has many books about Frida and I will list them in the widgets.
