Her Art
Frida’s art represents her pain. There is a theme of childbirth because after the accident, she couldn’t have children. There are also many themes regarding the Mexican Revolution.
The Museum
The Blue House is a small house with blue walls and other bright colors. These days, there is a lot of art on the walls. There are books that are both political and old. Also, there are figures and statues from Aztec and Mayan ruins.
I always wonder how much of Frida’s pain and turmoil influenced her art, it is all so beautiful and so powerful. But also so troubling at times to enjoy because it was created out of so much pain. I’d love to see her house-glad you all were able to see the blue house!
Very interesting place! So much pain though, I guess that is why she was such a good artist. She used her art to deal wiht all her pain and troubles. Must have been a very busy palce when she and Diego Rivera lived there. Can’t wait to visit it some day.
