About Frida Kahlo (1907 – 1954) One of the most recognized artists of the 20th century, Frida Kahlo’s body of work continues to resonate with audiences today. Kahlo’s unique painting style reflects both the culture of her native Mexico and contemporary artistic trends of her time. Her work directly drew from all aspects of her turbulent and yet exceptional life, including being stricken with polio as a child, her complex marriage to the famed muralist, Diego Rivera, complications surrounding childbirth, and her life-long pain and difficulties stemming from injuries she sustained in a bus accident at the age of 18. For the rest of her life, she suffered from this injury and had thirty-one operations. Frida Kahlo was also a cultural icon, recognized by her elaborate Tehuana clothing, stunning jewelry and hairstyles adorned with flowers – all of which allowed her to assert her Mexicanidad influenced by traditional Mexican culture. Kahlo was a contemporary of, and celebrated by, many of the most notable cultural figures of the 20th century including Lola Álvarez Bravo, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, André Breton, Pablo Picasso, and Marcel Duchamp. Kahlo lived an outspoken life; her artwork, politics and relationships all existed in opposition to the cultural norms and expectations and she was, in many ways, ahead of her time. It is for this reason that she continues to be such an inspirational and relevant artist today, drawing attention from diverse audiences around the world. Timeline/Key Events in Frida Kahlo’s life: http://theccma.org/whowasfrida I started to paint…from the sheer boredom of being bedridden for a year, after an accident in which I fractured my spine, my foot, and other bones. I was sixteen then and was very keen on studying medicine. But the collision between a Coyacán bus and a Tlalpan streetcar put an end to that…Since I was young, this misfortune did not take on tragic dimensions: I had enough energy to do anything, but study to be a doctor. And without giving it much thought, I started to paint. I don’t really know if my paintings are Surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the most honest expression of myself, without ever taking into consideration anyone’s criticisms or biases. I have painted only a little, without the least desire for glory and ambition, with the conviction, first and foremost, of pleasing myself and later being able to earn a living with my trade. From my trips, seeing and observing everything that I could, magnificent as well as very bad painting, I learned two positive things: always try and be myself as much as possible, and the bitter knowledge that many lives would not be enough to paint as and everything that I would like to. -Taken from Frida Kahlo I Portray Myself, exhibit catalogue The Bus (1929) Oil on canvas 26 x 55.5 cm Collection – Museo Dolores Olmedo About the Painting Frida was in an accident in 1925 which took place on a similar bus. In this painting, Frida demonstrates her sympathy for various classes of Mexican society (L to R) housewife, blue-collar worker, Indian mother feeding her baby, little boy looking around, business man, and young girl – which might be Frida herself. Things to think about: Each person in the painting has something special which makes them unique and helps us identify who they are. What are those items? What is something unique about you that you would include in a painting to reveal who you are? Self-Portrait with Small Monkey (1945) Oil on Masonite 56 x 41.5 cm Collection – Museo Dolores Olmedo About the Painting: Frida loved animals. She had a Mexican hairless dog (breed Xoloitzcuintli – which dates back to the Aztecs), spider monkeys, a parrot, a fawn and an eagle. Her monkeys, she said, symbolized the children that she was never able to bear because of the injuries from the bus accident. Things to think about: Many of Frida’s paintings are self-portraits – eight of her paintings include spider monkeys. Spider monkeys are used as symbols of protection. How does the inclusion of animals represent her nurturing side? The yellow ribbon loops all over the painting intertwining all the elements of her world - where does it start and where does it end? Notice the nail that connects them all. The Mask (1945) Oil on Canvas 40 x 30.5 cm Collection – Museo Dolores Olmedo About the Painting: This self-portrait hides the real Frida behind a mask. This shows how Frida was sad that she had to hide her true emotions. In Mexico, masks are used to express thoughts, emotions, culture and beliefs, and are important in the Aztec culture. Things to think about: Frida said, “I portray myself, because I am what I know the best.” Just like the indigenous Mexicans used masks to communicate during rituals, Frida is letting the mask do the crying that she felt she couldn’t. How do you hide and express your emotions? What mask do you wear the most? Resources Bernier-Grand, Carmen, T. Frida Viva la vida (Long Live Life!) New York: Amazon Publishing, 2007.

  • Sistema De Memoria Colectiva En El Metro Imagotipos En La Ciudad De México*
    INVESTIGACIÓN 9 Sistema de memoria colectiva en el Metro Imagotipos en la Ciudad de México* Francisco López Ruiz Resumen El Sistema de Transporte Metropolitano (Metro) de la Ciudad de México ofrece un valor simbólico único en el mundo. Desde hace cuatro décadas las estaciones del Metro son representadas mediante íconos o imagotipos. El objetivo de este artículo es contrastar las características gráficas de dos imagotipos y la vinculación con su contexto urbano e histórico: los ideogramas de las estaciones La Noria (tren ligero) y Cuatro Caminos (línea 2 del Metro). El argumento central establece que los imagotipos del Metro y otros sistemas de transporte capitalino forman parte de la riqueza patri- monial y la identidad de la Ciudad de México, ya que simbolizan de manera creativa diversos elementos culturales y urbanos. Abstract Mexico City’s subway icons are unique examples of urban graphic design. The purpose of this essay is to compare two icons –La Noria (urban train) and Cuatro Caminos (subway)– and analyze their historical and cultural meaning or significance. The main argument is that such subway icons stand as symbols of Mexico City’s cultural heritage insofar they represent diverse cultural and urban elements. * Esta investigación pertenece al proyecto Energía y arquitectura sustentable, financiado por la Dirección de Investigación de la, Universidad Iberoamericana, Ciudad de México y el Patronato Económico de la misma universidad (FICSAC). 10 Francisco López Ruiz arquitectos, con lo cual se evita la fealdad El ingeniero Bernardo

  • Re-Thinking the Language of Pain in the Works of Marguerite Duras and Frida Kahlo
    Re-thinking the Language of Pain in the Works of Marguerite Duras and Frida Kahlo Regina F. Bartolone A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: Dr. Martine Antle (advisor) Dr. Marsha Collins (reader) Dr. Maria DeGuzmán (reader) Dr. Dominque Fisher (reader) Dr. Diane Leonard (reader) Abstract Regina F.Bartolone Re-Thinking the Language of Pain in the Works of Marguerite Duras and Frida Kahlo (Under the direction of Dr. Martine Antle) This dissertation is a cross-cultural examination of the creation and the socio- cultural implications of the languages of pain in the works of French author, Marguerite Duras and Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo. Recent studies have determined that discursive communication is insufficient in expressing one’s pain. In particular, Elaine Scarry maintains that pain destroys language and that its victims must rely on the vocabulary of other cultural spheres in order to express their pain. The problem is that neither Scarry nor any other Western pain scholar can provide an alternative to discursive language to express pain. This study claims that both artists must work beyond their own cultural registers in order to give their pain a language. In the process of expressing their suffering, Duras and Kahlo subvert traditional literary and artistic conventions. Through challenging literary and artistic forms, they begin to re-think and ultimately re-define the way their readers and viewers understand feminine subjectivity, colonial and wartime occupation, personal tragedy, the female body, Christianity and Western hegemony.
