Reproduction of Self-Portrait with Cut Hair - Frida Kahlo

Excellent

L'œuvre en bref

Frida Kahlo painted this self-portrait shortly after her divorce from Diego Rivera, expressing a symbolic break with her traditional feminine appearance. Seated on a yellow chair, she appears dressed in an oversized men's suit, a chisel in her hand, surrounded by strands of freshly cut hair. Her face remains impassive, but the gesture is radical: she renounces a part of herself, possibly in connection with the image that Rivera loved.

Above her, a musical score accompanies a cruel verse: ‘Mira que si te quise, fue por el pelo. Ahora que estás pelona, ya no te quiero’. ("You know that if I loved you, it was for your hair. Now that you're shorn, I don't love you any more"). This phrase reinforces the gesture of defiance and pain. The brown ground is strewn with black locks, underlining the loss, but also an act of reappropriation of the self, in a tension between grief and affirmation of identity.
