{"title":"Frida Kahlo","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrida Kahlo (1907-1954) was a Mexican painter born in Coyoacán, Mexico City. A bus accident at the age of eighteen left her with injuries that affected her for the rest of her life, and she began painting while recovering in bed. Self-portraits make up a large part of her work, mixing her own image with Mexican folk art, symbolism and dreamlike settings. She married the muralist Diego Rivera in 1929, and the pair were at the heart of a lively Mexico City circle that also included the photographer \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tina-modotti-posters\"\u003eTina Modotti\u003c\/a\u003e.

The thorns draw blood from her neck; a dead hummingbird hangs from them like a pendant. A spider monkey and a black cat sit behind her shoulders against dense tropical foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting belongs to a concentrated period of self-portraiture that followed Kahlo's return to Mexico from New York and Paris. Muray bought this work directly from the artist and it now belongs to the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin. Of approximately 200 paintings Kahlo produced in her lifetime, around 55 are self-portraits. This one is among the most symbolically layered: the thorn necklace carries echoes of Christ's crown of thorns, the hummingbird is a Mexican folk symbol of luck in love (here shown dead), and the monkey - one of several pet spider monkeys Kahlo kept at the Casa Azul - tugs at the thorns, tightening them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKahlo was known within Surrealist circles during her lifetime, having exhibited at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1938 and in a group exhibition organised by André Breton in Paris in 1939.

Conger Goodyear, then president of the Museum of Modern Art, after he saw Kahlo's first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in November 1938. Worked in oil on masonite at just 40 by 30 centimetres, it is one of the many self-portraits Kahlo made for friends and patrons. The animal is one of the spider monkeys she kept at the Casa Azul in Coyoacán, resting here as a close, watchful companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original hangs at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York.
