Frida Kahlo And The Symbolism In Her Art

Frida Kahlo who lived during the first half of the 20^th century changed the art history in a way that she put her own dreams in her artworks. She was affected from several occasions as she had a bus accident and many love affairs that she expressed in an open manner. She used Christian symbolism merging with her own dreams that she called her reality.

After her periods of depression and miscarriages in her life she gave herself into pets around her. She liked to use monkeys, hummingbirds, dogs and cats in her artwork. One of her self-portrait depicts her with three spider monkeys surrendered Kahlo as a protective and tender symbols. On the contrary, Mexican mythology suggests monkeys are the symbols of lust and generally used in that manner.

Born in Guanajuato, Mexico, Diego Rivera often captured the history and social challenges of his native country through his murals and paintings. El Vendedor de Alcatraces (“Calla Lilies Vendor”) depicts a native Mexican peasant woman carrying an enormous basket of calla lilies, preparing to begin her day as a flower vendor at a market. The unidentified individual in the background helping carry the load of flowers and the hunched posture of the woman is indicative of the hardships endured by the country’s working class, a common theme in Rivera’s work.
