Without Hope - Frida Kahlo
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
Painted in 1945, Without Hope bears witness to the extreme physical and psychological suffering that Frida Kahlo endured after numerous operations. During this period, she was force-fed by her medical staff, giving rise to this violent and poignant work, in which she denounces her state of dependence and passivity.
In the painting, Frida is shown lying in bed, her face stretched out towards a giant funnel supported by a wooden frame. From this funnel flows a grotesque mass of food mixed with organic elements: dead animals, viscera, fish, a skull and pieces of flesh. This mixture is forced into his mouth. The setting, desert and moon, accentuates the sense of isolation. Two stars - a red sun and a pale moon - frame the scene against a heavy sky. This painting is not just a criticism of medical treatment; it expresses total distress, a pictorial cry in the face of the loss of control over one's own body.
