Your art history post for today, a work in the collection of the Henry Ransom Center on the University of Texas at Austin campus: by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), Untitled [Self-portrait with thorn necklace and hummingbird], 1940, oil on canvas mounted to board, © 2020 Banco de México Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo Museums Trust. #ArtHistory #mexicoart #womanartist #womenartists #painting #oilpainting #mexicanart #mexicanartist
From Phyllis Tuchman, Smithsonian Magazine, November 2002: ‘Biographies of the artist, which have been translated into many languages, read like the fantastical novels of Gabriel García Márquez as they trace the story of two painters who could not live with or without each other. (Taymor says she views her film version of Kahlo’s life as a “great, great love story.”) Married twice, divorced once and separated countless times, Kahlo and Rivera had numerous affairs, hobnobbed with Communists, capitalists and literati and managed to create some of the most compelling visual images of the 20th century. Filled with such luminaries as writer André Breton, sculptor Isamu Noguchi, playwright Clare Boothe Luce and exiled Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, Kahlo’s life played out on a phantasmagorical canvas.’
