Self-Portrait with Monkey |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Frida Kahlo is best known for her very personal self-portraits. In these works she depicts herself impassively staring at the viewer, often surrounded by references to the painful circumstances of her life. Kahlo also celebrated her Mexican identity in her artwork by using a painting style based on native popular art and by incorporating representations of Mexican flora and fauna as well as references to the Pre-Columbian civilizations of Mexico, as seen here in Self-Portrait with Monkey (1940). | ||||||
