Frida Kahlo

 

This painting by Kahlo’s was created in the late 1900-1954. Her painting inspired me.

The painting was included In the first major exhibition of her work, held at Julien

Levy Gallery in New York in 1938. In the essay that accompanied the show, the Surrealist leader Andre Breton describe Kahlo’s work as “a ribbon around a bomb” and hailed her as a self-created Surrealist painter. Although she appreciated his enthusiasm.
