The story of the difficult life of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo became widely known after the release of the film "Frida" with Salma Hayek in the title role. Kahlo wrote mostly self-portraits and explained it simply: "I write to myself, because I spend a lot of time alone and because I am the topic that I know best."
On no self-portrait Frida Kahlo does not smile: a serious, even mournful face, fused thick brows, barely noticeable mustache above the tightly compressed lips. The artist's ideas are ciphered in detail, background, figures appearing next to the author's image on the canvases. The symbol of Kalo is based on national traditions and is closely related to the Indian mythology of the pre-Hispanic period.
In one of her best paintings "Two Frides" she expressed masculine and feminine beginnings, united in her by a single blood system and demonstrating her integrity.
