If she realy did go through that accident then she must be painting about herself. I wonder if she survived and then painted, or painted from her hospital bed. Did her friend, or anyone else on the bus survive?
ReplyDeletein no way do i mean to be disrespectful, but frida's paintings i find disturbing. i find it very interesting that she was studying medicine before the accident. i think she paints herself because she is a loner and finds herself most interesting.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the article i noticed that a lot of the paintings are Frida and ripped out hearts and blood, the paintings are very gruesome and they must have reminded her of the accident. I believe that Frida painted herself so she could, in a way, show the pain she had been through and was going throught to others. She wanted to express how she saw herself after the accident in a tangible way. One fact i find interesting is that during her three year recovery, Frida changed her birthdate from 1907 to 1910, because she didnt want those 3 years to be part of her life.
ReplyDeleteFrida Kahol was a very interesting painter. I agree with Maddie that her pictures were a disturbing. But i guess if I went though an accident like that i would probably paint that way to. I also kind off felt bad for her that she was confined to her bed for 3 years. i probably wouldn't have made it that long like that.
ReplyDeleteIf I saw a Frida Kahol painting in a gallery I would be both interested and disturbed. Her paintings were disturbing in the way they were about death, but were interesting because she expressed her life and her accident through art. One interesting fact I learned about Frida Kahols painting is that they resembled small paintings of saints that were painted on tin, zinc, or wood called retablos.
