Hello
classmates in this opportunity I will talk about a free topic to the corresponding
free session number 9. In this moment I am working in self-portraits, and one
of the referent more important for me is Frida Kahlo, so today I will talk of
she. Frida Kahlo is a painter, was born in Coyoacan Mexico in 1907, and died in
1954. She had a life very difficult, suffered an accident in which almost died,
and left her unable to walk for more than a year, so always suffered from pain
and could not have children, had several abortions, came to be operated more
than 30 times during the period that was prostrate started painting, like don't
have a model, she painted herself, that followed throughout his artistic
career, Frida was branded like surreal, but She said that was not, because she
painted things that for she were real. She had rather tortuous love life but
passionate, her husband and great love was the muralist painter Diego Rivera. I
admire to Frida, because had the strength for overcome the difficulties of your
life, with the resource most beautiful and which is also mine, the painting.
“I paint
myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.”
Frida Kahlo.
