Frida Kahlo's 1938 painting, "Self-Portrait with Monkey", showcases her iconic style, exploring themes of identity and companionship through a direct and intimate portrayal.
Painted in 1938, Frida Kahlo's "Self-Portrait with Monkey" is a striking example of her introspective and deeply personal artistic style. Kahlo, a Mexican artist, is celebrated for her unflinching self-portraits that explore themes of identity, the human body, and the experience of pain. This work is no exception, presenting Kahlo in a direct, almost confrontational pose, surrounded by lush foliage. The painting features Kahlo's characteristic unibrow and faint moustache, rendered with careful detail. A small monkey, a common motif in her work, perches on her shoulder, its dark fur contrasting with the artist's skin. The monkey, a gift from her husband Diego Rivera, is often interpreted as a symbol of both affection and the burdens of companionship. The background is filled with large, verdant leaves, creating a sense of enclosure and intimacy. The colour palette is dominated by earthy tones, with the green of the foliage and the warm hues of Kahlo's skin creating a harmonious, if somewhat melancholic, atmosphere. The composition is relatively simple, with Kahlo's figure taking centre stage, her gaze fixed on the viewer.

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.

Started painting in a body cast after a bus crash at eighteen, married Diego Rivera twice, and told Breton she was not a Surrealist.
