While the treatment process was continuing after the accident, he began to be involved in art and political circles.<\/p>\n<p>In the process, Frida had transferred the pain in her body to her art with all her might. She had reflected all the physical and emotional wear and tear he had experienced on her art as revolutionary, traumatic and tragic. Frida&#8217;s art is reflected in the concerns she has about her country, except for her physical and emotional shocks. She had always been an artist fighting for her cultural identity.<\/p>\n<p>Frida reveals her own reality with all its nakedness in her works. She conveys her pain, death wish, love, lost children, her turbulent relationship with Diego and the imaginary structure behind them with all its naturalness.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI paint myself because I&#8217;m often alone, because that&#8217;s what I do best.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Self-Portrait-Along-the-Borderline-Between-Mexico-and-the-United-States-1932\"><\/span>Self Portrait Along the Borderline Between Mexico and the United States (1932)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-154868\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Borderline-Between-Mexico-and-the-United-States.jpg\" alt=\"Borderline Between Mexico and the United States\" width=\"950\" height=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Borderline-Between-Mexico-and-the-United-States.jpg 950w, https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Borderline-Between-Mexico-and-the-United-States-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Borderline-Between-Mexico-and-the-United-States-768x687.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Frida depicts where she is and where her heart belongs in this work.

In this work, she presented her pain with all its openness and frightening. She is beautiful and strong despite the accidents and illnesses she went through and the bodily deformation she had. The work invites itself and its audience to face these pains.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Without-Hope-1945\"><\/span>Without Hope (1945)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-154888\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/without-hope-frida-kahlo.jpg\" alt=\"without hope frida kahlo\" width=\"950\" height=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/without-hope-frida-kahlo.jpg 950w, https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/without-hope-frida-kahlo-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/without-hope-frida-kahlo-768x687.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In this work, Frida Kahlo talked about the period when she had to follow a nutrition program with a doctor&#8217;s prescription. On the back of the work it is written: <em>I don&#8217;t have the slightest hope&#8230; Everything moves according to what the hub contains.<\/em>\u201c During the period when she made the painting, her doctor prescribed her a full bed rest and a diet in which it is mandatory to eat porridge as food.

The rotten trees in the background reflect the feeling of fear and helplessness. In 1946, when she made this painting, Frida had surgery on her spine. While the surgery should have relieved her of her pain, what she thought did not happen, and this reflected her disappointment in her work. Frida modeled her pet deer \u201cGranizo\u201d while drawing this self-portrait. On May 3, 1946, Frida gave this painting to her friends Lina and Arcady Boitler as a wedding present. She added a note next to it:<em> I leave you my portrait so that you will be with me all the days and nights I am away from you.<\/em> \u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you want to learn more about Frida Kahlo&#8217;s works and life, you can visit the 2002 film directed by Julie Taymor, about the life of Frida Kahlo.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0120679\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Frida,<\/strong><\/a> you can watch the movie.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/en\/sigmund-freud-the-life-and-theories-of-freud-the-founder-of-psychoanalysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sigmund Freud: The Life and Theories of Freud, the Founder of Psychoanalysis<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/en\/eckhart-tolle-the-essence-of-his-life-career-books-and-teachings-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eckhart Tolle: The Essence of His Life, Career, Books and Teachings<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frida Kahlo, one of the important painters of the twentieth century and icons of popular culture of the twenty-first century, is known for her bumpy life, political opinion and style that she often refers to in her works.
