Dominique, Art, Kahlo,

I am going to focus on 1 painting in this post because it shows something that has been a struggle between Mexico and the U.S. for a long time. This is another famous painting by Frida Kahlo called Self-Portrait on the borderline between Mexico and the United States. It was finished in 1932 and is a oil painting on a medium sized canvas. Khalo painted this 2 years after her husband Diego had a few commissions to paint murals in the United States. She and her husband stayed there for 4 years. She hated it living in the U.S. and got homesick, so she created this portrait to show her pain.
