Self Portrait with Monkey1945 In this self-portrait,
Frida again appears with one of her pet monkeys who lovingly clings to
her as if to comfort her in her solitude. By using brownish tones in this
portrait, Frida may be recalling the early sepia-toned photographs her
father use to take. These brown-tones would appear in later painting such
as "The Wounded Deer - 1946" and
"Portrait of My Father - 1951".
This self-portrait was painted during her most prolific period in which
she created her best works, many of which were self-portraits. |

Autorretrato con mono1945 En este autorretrato,
Frida aparece de nuevo con una de sus mascotas, un monito, el cual la
abraza cariñosamente, como para consolarla en su soledad. Frida
usa colores marrones en este retrato y quizás está recordando
las primeras fotografías que su padre tomó, las cuales eran
en tonos sepia. |
