1. 55 of Frida’s 143 paintings were self portraits
Even if she was not portrayed, her ideas stayed the same

3. Portrait of Don Guillermo Kahlo-1951
Father-originally named whilhelm (hungarian-jewish) changed name when he married Frida’s mother (indian)
Artist/photographer
Last one of family to be painted (according to movie)
Written on bottom: painting of my father wilhelm kahlo of hungarian, german origin. An artist and photographer by profession, his character was generous, intelligent and valient duing his 70 years, but perhaps at its most in his work and fight against Hitler.
With adoration, your daughter Frida.

4. Portrait of Luther Burbank- 1931
American botanist, horticulturist and agricultural science. Developed 800 strains of plants-including fruits, flowers, grains, grasses and veggies. Most successful includes the shasta daisy (one we see most commonly)

5. My Grandparents, my parents and I-1936
Kahlo's hybrid identity as the offspring of a multicultural and interracial marriage, and alludes to her German-Jewish roots.
A close look at Kahlo's art also reveals that alongside the Mexican persona, numerous other identities exist. Kahlo portrayed herself in alternative roles, appearing as an androgynous creature, a crowned nun, the Hindu goddess Parvati, a little deer, and as a Jew.
Sperm and egg (below mother), baby inside of her (Frida), Frida standing in Patio (garden), red ribbon (blood lines?). Mother’s parents indian (indigenous roots), father’s parents (european) over water (across Atlantic) vs. over the mountains/cactus (mexico), building below german grandparents (nazi gas house?)

6. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera-1931
El elefante y la paloma (Frida barely 5 ft) Diego (6ft. 1)
Notice size of feet
This painting may resemble the wedding portrait of Diego and herself. This painting is interesting because both of them look very stiff and are not facing each other but rather facing forward. They do not seem to look happy and their hands are loosely clasped as if the connection between them was never as strong as one would expect in a newly married couple. Most of the painting has dull colors except for the bright red shawl that Frida is wearing. The features on both faces are exaggerated. On Frida, her eyebrows, her height and her small feet are very different when compared to Diego’s huge stature, large head and large feet. Also, the faces have a mask-like appearance to it kind of like the early African art.

7. What I saw in the Water-1938
Miscarriage, move to NYC (Empire state building), physical suffering, parents, right foot is smaller (polio) love interest (affair with woman), traditional dress of Tehuanas (a matriarchal Indian tribe
This painting has a very surreal look to it. It seems very dream-like, but in reality it is not. The picture incorporates numerous elements from other works. This piece, to an outsider, may appear to be an enigma and a psychological apprehension. However, after learning about her life, one can see that this painting combines the pain, death and sexuality of her life floating on the bath water that she is very much drowning in. She said, "They thought I was a surrealist. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality."
