Frida Kahlo paintings had an excellent grouping of
pragmatism, representation and out of the ordinary themes.
Frida Kahlo paintings somewhat represented reality that a
common people have to face in their lives.
Frida Kahlo was a native of Mexico, who took immense pride in painting
her Mexican culture. Frida Kahlo paintings were greatly influenced by fellow Mexican painter; Diego Rivera, who was her husband.
Incidentally, Frida Kahlo suffered from a perilous bus mishap that
left undiluted impressions on her life as a painter. |

All that Frida experienced, during or after the mishap was
taken as a theme in her paintings. When Frida Kahlo focused
her attention on her painting profession, she always depicted
all hardships she faced in her life. Sometimes, Frida Kahlo paintings were often marked by intense depression
and pain. Frida Kahlo paintings are total 143 in number (which
can identified in their original form) and out of which 55
paintings can be classified into the category of self-portrait
(depiction of the painter itself).
In some of her self-portraits, she is
seen with her pets.
But, in her entire career as a painter she made 200
paintings and sketches that illustrated her troubled
life.
Apart from that, Frida Kahlo paintings were totally
prejudiced towards the culture of Mexico.
Her inclination towards her native culture is all reflected
in terms of choice of colors which were bright in nature,
theatrical representation and impenitently unsympathetic
and brutal stuff was there in her paintings.

The last phase of the 20th Century saw, Frida Kahlo being
emerged as a feminist cult personality because of her obsession
with womanly subject matter and metaphorical bluntness with
which she articulated all those feminist themes in her paintings.
Frida Kahlo paintings were consciously adolescent in look
crammed with colors and variety of her indigenous folk painting.
