2. - Born July 6, 1907 and died at age 47
- She had suffered most of her life such as at age 6 she had
developed polio. Then later in her life she had a traffic accident
giving her a broken column at 18. After breaking her column she
discontinued her career in medicine and had started painting to
express her suffering because she had felt alone and she felt
nobody knew her better than herself to which she would draw
mostly self portraits. She was also a bisexual married twice to
another artist named Deigo Rivera and experienced 2
miscarriages.
- She lived her life in Mexico City
- Her genre of art was mainly surreal and expression because most
of her drawings looked dream like but they also contained a
symbolic expression of her pain and suffering.

3.  In this image Frida was
expressing her feelings after
her divorce with her husband
Deigo. The Two Fridas are a
self portrait of her in her young
years when she was loved by
Deigo and in the recent years
when Deigo abandoned her.
 In this image there are lines
used as the vein of the hearts
because it drags your eyes
across the two Fridas from one
end of the vein to the other.
 I also think the Frida on the left
is the focal point because the
white color of her dress stands
out from the background and
the Frida on the right. The cut
open heart also makes it the
focal point because the detail
inside of it stands out more
than the closed heart.
 Painted in 1939

4.  In this painting Frida expresses
herself suffering in pain with her
broken column having nails pierce
her body and showing she is all
alone which is why she put herself in
a empty desert. She expresses that
she is broken in many places and
has nothing but a corset holding
her together.
 In this painting there is a balance
because the woman is centered
right in the middle and both sides of
the picture are the same with
nothing extra on one side, both are
empty with just cracks in the
ground.
 There is also use of eye path and
line because the nails on her body
takes your eyes all around her and
the broken column works as a line
the way it leads the eyes up and
down the center of her chest.
Painted in 1944

5.  Painted in 1946
In this painting Frida shows her
disappointment after having a
surgery on her back. She had
hoped that the surgery would
take away her back pain but it
had not so she had felt like a
wounded deer.
In this painting there is a focal
point which is the deer since it is
put right in the center with a
color different from the trees and
branch on the floor.
There also is the use of perspective in this image with the trees since you can
see the ones in the way back are much smaller and thinner than the ones
that are in the front which are much larger and thicker.

6. In this painting Frida shows her  Painted in 1932
pain in the miscarriage she had.
She puts images connected by a
vein as to what the miscarriage
was and where and how it
happened it and the flower
expressing death to her fetus.
In this image she uses line once
again as the veins because they
lead your eyes to each of the
components of her miscarriage
into different directions of her
painting.
I also think the bed is a focal
point in the image because the
white is so bright and because it
is right in the center in a large
size in a spot you wouldn’t
expect to see a bed lying around
outside.

7.  Painted in 1935
In this Image Frida expresses her broken heart after her husband Deigo has
an affair with her sister so she shows this by drawing an image of herself in a
murder scene with an excuse that it was just a few small nips.
In this image she creates
some movement with
blood stains all over the
floor going all around the
frame and the mans shirt
as if she moved around all
over the place or was
dragged smearing blood
everywhere to finally get
into that bed.
Another that she uses is
eye path because the
blood stains in the image
also moves your eyes all
around the image
including the frame.

8.  Painted in 1944
In this painting Frida expresses her
bisexuality in which she had always
openly shown so she is outside in
the open. In the image there is
also a monkey which is known as a
symbol of sin in which goes with
the image since bisexuality was
considered a sin.
In this picture I see use of
continuity with the vines with the
way it goes upward and gets cut
off like it is endless going into
space.
The vines are also like a eye path because it moves your eyes around in that
corner taking your eyes upward or going down leading you to the to the two
women.
Also the roots at the bottom work as a form of line that move your eyes up to
the two women which look like their on a small platform.
