There is nothing absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves - everything flies and goes away.

i’ve been reading this frida kahlo book ramon got me for christmas every time i go to the laundry mat to do our laundry and i’m about half way threw with it. when i’m done i think i’m gonna get another book about frida. there were two i saw at barnes and noble. one was a biography titled “Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo” by Hayden Herrera and the other was essentially a photocopy/ translation of her diaries she kept in her later years. “The Dairy of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait” by Alas Rotas. i think i’m gonna get the biography first then when i’m done reading that one i’ll get the one that’s her journal entries. that way i feel like i have a bit of background knowledge to what she’s referring to.

"Anguish and pain, pleasure and death are no more than a process" — Frida Kahlo

Published here in its entirety, Frida Kahlo's amazing illustrated journal documents the last ten years of her turbulent life. This passionate, often surprising, intimate record, kept under lock and key for some forty years in Mexico, reveals many new dimensions in the complex persona of this remarkable Mexican artist. from goodread.

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón ([ˈfɾiða ˈkalo]; 6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954)

was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico.

Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve 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. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist. via Wikipedia

Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul

The blue house museum and shrine dedicated to Kahlo is a small treasure everyone should experience. Something I thought was unique about my Casa Azul time was really seeing the home Frida and Diego shared and the small details of life. Instead of every room filled with her paintings, we get a more intimate look featuring her diary entries, sketches, memorabilia, decorative objects, and more. I really loved seeing her diffused lit art studio lined with her books and the bedrooms decorated thoughtfully with butterflies and a mirror on the beds ceiling.  

My favorite pieces I saw happened to be the photographs of Frida herself. I looked at them and felt vulnerability but also a sense of joy and pure authenticity. It inspired me to feel powerful while being proud and owning who I am just as she does. I also enjoyed seeing some of her self-portraits in pencil work. 

Her husband Diego Rivera held an important role in her life along with their relationship and in her development as an artist. Because of Rivera’s interest in the pre-Hispanic past, the culture and reclaiming of Mexico’s history it transformed Kahlo’s identity and her artwork.  

The museum was a wonderful and diverse experience. The blue compound is stunning while being inviting, outside are locals selling Frida tapestries while live music plays. Inside you are met with paper mâché skeletons lining the walls, then you are introduced to part of the tree canopy covered tropical gardens before entering the home. It was a peaceful space both inside and out that truly had a home energy to it, a space where you can feel her spirit.

Your word travels the entirety of space and reaches my cells which are my stars then goes to yours

which are my light.

"Truth is, so great, that I wouldn’t like to speak, or sleep, or listen, or love. To feel myself trapped, with no fear of blood, outside time and magic, within your own fear, and your great anguish, and within the very beating of your heart. All this madness, if I asked it of you, I know, in your silence, there would be only confusion. I ask you for violence, in the nonsense, and you, you give me grace, your light and your warmth."

“Ayer siete de Mayo de 1953 al caerme en las baldosas de piedra se me enterró en una nalga (nalga de perro) una ahuja. Me trajeron inmediatamente al Hospital en una ambulancia. Sufriendo enormes dolores y gritando en la distancia de casa al Hospital Ingles - me tomaron una radiografía - varias localizaron la ahuja y me la van a sacar uno de estos dias con imán. Gracias a mi Diego amor de toda mi vida gracias a los Doctores Farill - Glusker - Párres y el Doctor Enrique Palomera. Sanche Palomera. Gracias a las enfermeras a los camilleros a las afanadoras y mozos del Hospital Ingles - Gracias al Dr. Vargas a Navarro al Dr. Polo y a mi fuerza de voluntad. Espero alegre la salida - y espero no volver jamás - FRIDA”
