The film tells about the artist Frida\nKahlo<\/a>, about the unusually lively and bright biography of the famous\nMexican artist. It is a film about the fascinating history of rebellious art,\nromantic beliefs, eccentric love relationships and the endless physical\nsuffering of an elegant and fragile woman who became a legend and symbol of the\nsteel will, divine beauty, and dashing carelessness. After her death, there\nwere not only canvases, but also burning lines of this biography, in which\nunbending will, endless pain and, of course, love, which is not given to everyone. Intellectual youth is\nread out by her diaries. Gays and lesbians raised her statements on their\nshields. Feminists perceive her very life as a guide to action. Moreover, although more than sixty years have passed since the day of her death in 1954,\nthe admiration for this legendary woman has not faded until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a rainy evening on September 17, 1925 (Frida was\nonly 18), one of the two life tragedies of her life occurred! The car in which\nFrieda was traveling collided with a tram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-two times Frida visited the operating table.\nDoctors could not vouch for Frida’s life, but she won! She had been bedridden\nfor a year, but her health problems had\nlasted forever. Subsequently, Frida had to pass rub through several dozens of\noperations and months without leaving in hospitals. She, despite a burning\ndesire, could not become a mother. It was at this time that she asked her father\nfor a brush and paint, for Frida made a unique easel, which allowed to write lying\ndown. A large mirror was attached under the canopy of the bed so that Frida\ncould see herself. She began with self-portraits, which forever determined the\nmain direction of her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I\nwrite myself because I spend much time\nalone and because I am the one I know\nbest.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The famous painting “Blue House,” named for the color of the walls –\nindigo, so beloved by Mexican Indians, became for her a hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second life tragedy of Frida was the\nSpanish-Indian Diego Rivera (whose full name is Diego Maria de la Concepcion\nJuan Nepomuceno Estanislavo de la Riviere\nand Barrientos de Acosta y Rodriguez). He was the “first guy” among\nthe Mexican painters of the time. He was a sincere communist, a fighter against\nthe bourgeoisie, favorite among ordinary\npeople as an orator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diego was huge and fat. Rivera liked to portray\nhimself in the form of a fat-bellied frog with someone’s heart in his hand. Women always adored him, Diego reciprocated,\nbut somehow confessed: “The stronger I love women, the stronger I want to\nmake them suffer.” Their first meeting occurred when Frida, as a teenager,\nsaw Diego Rivera painting the walls of the Higher Preparatory School. He\nimpressed her childish imagination. One day, as if anticipating their common\nfuture, Frida told school friends: <\/strong>“I\nwill marry this macho and give birth to a son from him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I\nhad two big troubles in my life, Diego: the bus and you”<\/em> –\nexplained the artist to her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frida Kahlo is perhaps no less famous character in\nsurrealism than Salvador Dali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paintings of Frida Kahlo are mostly pretty creepy.\nHardly a desire to appear to hang a\npicture of Frida near the crib of own\nchild. In anatomy, she too is not strong. Her work most likely can be called\nnaive rather than technically strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover,\nnevertheless, few of the surrealists (not counting Salvador Dali) achieved such\nfame. Moreover, among the women of the\nSurrealists, Frieda Kahlo is, perhaps, the only one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret of Frida’s success is that\ndespite her apparent naivete and frightening images (and most likely thanks to\nthem), the artist’s work produces a powerful impression. The foundation of any\ncreativity is, in fact, the strength of the emotions it causes, whether it is\npleasant or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When looking at\nthe pictures of Frida Kahlo, seem to feel all the pain that she suffered. The\nsincerity of her work is fantastic. Moreover, some naivete in this case only\nstrengthens the impression. The strength of Frida Kahlo is that she never did\nwhat the crowd liked, but splashed merely\nout onto the canvas everything that she had accumulated in her heart, without\nregard to how shocking it would be. It would seem a paradox – to have success\nwith the crowd without following the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the secret of her success is\nthat Frida Kahlo has lived an exciting, albeit unhappy life. Her life was full\nof dramas, tragedies, misfortunes, betrayals, and acute emotions. Not\nsurprisingly, such a juicy story interested director Julie Taymor. Then\nwith what steadfastness this fragile woman endured all adversities only adds\ntragedy. Moreover, fate, as if\nspecifically, to test it for strength, sent her one misfortune after another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frida is, in fact, a profound and exciting artist. She\nimpresses with her inner strength and charisma. In contrast to the same\nSalvador Dali images of Frida are more direct, which does not diminish their\ndepth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the works of Frida Kahlo, the influence of the\nculture of the pre-Columbian civilizations of America is dominant. Her work is\nfull of symbols and fetishes. However, the impact of European painting is also\nnoticeable in it – in the early works, Frida’s enthusiasm, for example,\nBotticelli, clearly manifested itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the paintings of Frida Kahlo, one can see the\ninfluence of Mexican muralism or Mexican monumental painting. Frida’s husband – Diego Rivera – was the brightest and\nmost famous representative of this trend. Mexican muralism is such a\nbizarre mixture of the socialism flavored with Mexican colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, in the works of Frida Kahlo, many\ndifferent things are mixed: there are surrealism, and muralism, and symbolism,\nand some elements of folk art – all sorts of Mexican blossoms and patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is generally not surprising, for Frida Kahlo draw\nfrom the heart and never really bothered with belonging to any stream of\npainting. For example, Frida never associated herself with surrealism. Frida\ncan include categories of artists who “what I see\/feel, then draw.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
