Frida Kahlo is a woman of fierce intellect and passion. Her paintngs come from stories and experiences that she has overcome or battled throughout her life. Broken Column is one of my favorite self- portraits of Frida because of the emotion behind the painting is almost as you can feel the pain through the layers and the textures within the painting. Frida has gone through miscarriages, infidelity, and multiple surgeries and accidents that affected her body and played a constant role through her visual piece.Although, she faced many hardships her stance against equality and feminism allowed her to becomea huge role in the arts and politics.
