内容简介
Introduction to Frida Kahlo Postcards
From Frida Kahlo: The Brush of Anguish by Martha Zamora
Frida Kahlo's single most frequent theme was the obsessive self-portrait, in which she appears alone or with her pets or other meaningful possessions. When asked, as she frequently was, why she painted herself so often, she replied, "Porque estoy muy sola" (because I am all alone). Some theorize that she painted herself to ensure she would be remembered. Her former lover and longtime friend Alejandro Gómez Arias suggests that Frida's continual portrait painting was "a recourse, the ultimate means to survive, to endure, to conquer death."
