{"product_id":"coconuts-frida-kahlo-1","title":"Coconuts - Frida Kahlo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1951 still life by Frida Kahlo, featuring tropical fruits and a weeping coconut, rendered with characteristic emotional depth and precise texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted in 1951, Coconuts is a late-career still life by the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. The composition features a selection of tropical fruits, including sliced watermelon and coconuts, arranged against a dark, muted background. Kahlo employs a precise, almost clinical approach to the textures of the fruit, contrasting the fibrous, hairy exterior of the coconuts with the wet, glistening flesh of the watermelon slices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the coconuts is anthropomorphised, featuring carved facial features that appear to weep. This inclusion of human-like traits within a traditional still life format is characteristic of Kahlo's practice, where inanimate objects often carry emotional weight or autobiographical references. The work reflects her interest in Mexican identity and the natural bounty of her home, La Casa Azul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is dominated by earthy browns, deep greens, and the stark, saturated red of the watermelon. The lighting is direct, casting minimal shadows and creating a sense of flatness that aligns with the folk art traditions Kahlo admired. Unlike her more complex, multi-layered self-portraits, this piece focuses on the physical reality of the objects, yet it remains imbued with the melancholy that permeated her final years. The brushwork is controlled, allowing for the fine detail of the coconut fibres and the seeds within the fruit to be clearly defined. This print captures the specific tonal range of the original oil on masonite, maintaining the integrity of the artist's colour choices and the sombre atmosphere of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-return-of-the-flame-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Return of the Flame - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/a-night-at-saint-jean-man-ray\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Night at Saint Jean - Man Ray — Man Ray\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frida Kahlo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833519477071,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833764909391,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833764942159,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833764974927,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833765007695,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Coconuts_Poster_CompositorV1_1789931674594.jpg?v=1789932728","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/coconuts-frida-kahlo-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
