L'œuvre en bref
Painted in 1940, The Dream (or ‘The Bed’) is a work in which Frida Kahlo explores the theme of death with a mixture of irony, surrealism and familiarity. At the time, she was acutely aware of her own mortality, exacerbated by years of physical suffering and surgical operations. This painting expresses both a lucid acceptance of death and a fantastical vision of its omnipresence.
Frida is shown asleep in a four-poster bed suspended in mid-air, wrapped in a yellow blanket decorated with black branches. On the platform above her lies a reclining skeleton, armed with rockets ready to explode and holding a bouquet of flowers. The steamy sky in the background gives the impression of a floating dream. The balance between macabre humour, Mexican symbolism and Frida's personal imagery makes this work a strange but serene meditation on the cohabitation of life and death.
