|FRIDA KHALO | |
|| |
| | |
|I am not sick. Iam broken.  But I am happy as long as I can paint." | |
| | |
|Frida Kahlo was an incredibly amazing woman. Her life was filled with physical as well as emotional pain. She | |
|endured more in her short life than most peoplewill ever have to face. But she endured. She put her emotions | |
|into her painting; she wore her heart on her canvas. Her work is a rare blend of true emotion, heartbreak, | |
|love,and life, as well as death. Most of her paintings were self-portraits. She said, "I paint self-portraits | |
|because I am the person I know best. I paint my own reality. The only thing Iknow is that I paint because I | |
|need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other considerations." Her paintings, like | |
|Tori Amos's music, are very open andhonest. They reflect her emotions, the events in her life, changes in her | |
|feelings - whether good or bad. She recorded her life in paint. Her imagery and style were very original, ||
|dramatic, and courageous. Her husband, the famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, said: "Frida is the only | |
|example in the history of art of an artist who tore open her chestand heart to reveal the biological truth of | |
|her feelings. The only woman who has expressed in her work an art of the feelings, functions, and creative | |
|power of woman."...
