A surrealist portrait of horticulturalist Luther Burbank by Frida Kahlo, showing him as a human-plant hybrid in a barren landscape, symbolising life, death, and transformation.
This 1931 oil on masonite painting by Frida Kahlo depicts the American horticulturalist Luther Burbank. Burbank, who lived from 1849 to 1926, developed many new varieties of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Kahlo's surrealist portrait shows Burbank as a hybrid figure, part human and part plant. He stands in a barren landscape, emerging from a tree trunk. The roots of the tree extend into the earth, revealing a skeleton beneath, perhaps symbolising the cycle of life and death, or Burbank's own mortality. Burbank holds a plant with large, pale green leaves, suggesting his connection to the natural world and his role as a cultivator. In the background, two grafted trees bear fruit, referencing Burbank's horticultural experiments. The sky is a mix of blue and grey, adding to the painting's somewhat unsettling atmosphere. Kahlo painted this portrait during her time in the United States, and it reflects her interest in themes of identity, nature, and transformation.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
