THE PRINT

The oil-on-canvas painting from 1940 is one of 55 self-portraits painted by the artist during her lifetime, and its format - featuring a head-and-shoulders view of Kahlo - is typical of her style of portraiture during this period. Scholars have offered a variety of political, cultural, and religious interpretations of Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, which is often seen as a visual statement of Kahlo's personal resilience and strength.

Many of Frida Kahlo’s paintings are more like painted collages of symbols. Painted after her divorce from Diego Rivera, every symbol in this painting gives specific clues to Frida’s mental state. Her still, direct, emotionless gaze seems to express the immediacy of her pain (she was madly in love with Rivera). In a direct reference to Christ and his suffering, she showed herself wearing a necklace of thorns. Is she showing herself to be a martyr? The blood trickling from the wounds could be interpreted as an illustration of her emotional crisis.

THE ARTIST

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who painted many portraits, self-portraits and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy.
