Description
Frida Kahlo - Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, 1940.
This painting contains many aspects which are symbolic to Frida Kahlo. A bird is often symbolize freedom and life. Especially hummingbird which is colorful and always hovering above flowers. But in this painting the humming bird is black and lifeless. This might be a symbol of Frida herself. Frida spent most of her life in physical pain after the bus accident happened when she was eighteen. After that she endured about thirty-five operations to fix her body. She spent so many years bedridden and cannot bear any children. This is a painting about her suffering.
