Painting Description - Frida Kahlo

   In this post we’ll talk about one of Frida Kahlo’s paintings. The picture is called Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird.

   This picture was made in 1940 by Frida Kahlo. It is a self-portrait of Frida wearing a necklace of thorn and a hummingbird. She’s surrounded by large green leaves, a monkey and a black cat. The picture is a symbol of Frida herself. It expresses pain, that’s why the hummingbird, which is always colorful, is black and lifeless.
