The Two Fridas (1939)
Frida Kahlo said that this work represents the “duality of her character”. Indeed, this mirror game illustrates the artist’s dual heritage: European (the figure in the Victorian dress) and indigenous (the one wearing the tehuana skirt and blouse).
It is an image with surreal elements that illustrate loneliness and lovelessness. Like other works in which the artist doubles herself, The Two Fridas symbolises the consolation she offers herself in moments of despair. Today it is one of the most visited paintings in the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City.
