Reproduction of Thinking about Death - Frida Kahlo

Excellent

L'œuvre en bref

Painted in 1943, this painting is a symbolic self-portrait in which Frida Kahlo expresses her intimate, constant and almost familiar relationship with death. She painted it during a period marked by chronic pain and a series of hospitalisations. As in many of her works, death is not portrayed in a dramatic way, but as an omnipresent thought, rooted in everyday life and the mind.

Frida is depicted straight on, staring straight ahead. On her forehead, a circular medallion contains a human skull resting on a wasteland. This frontal symbol evokes a fixed, inescapable thought, rooted in the mind. The background is made up of large, dense green leaves, interlaced with bare branches, contrasting with the motionless figure in the centre. The warm tones of her skin and clothing contrast with the vegetal hues. The painting combines frontality, formal simplicity and symbolic richness, evoking death as a constant mental presence rather than a spectacular event.
