RARE ORIGINAL Frida Kahlo Pencil and Pen on Paper Piece is 10 1/2" x 6 This is a very emotional, very intimate letter about a very important moment in Kahlo's life. She wrote it after just finding out she had to have her leg amputated. .I'll try to paraphrase what she wrote. The part on the LEFT: "For me, today is one of the saddest moments of my life, today they told me that they have to lop off my leg...the doctor says that they only have to cut it in half. It was terrible, but the worst _ucking part was the pity it caused the people around me (then a phrase I can't make out) ... and they all can go to hell including Diego. They left and now that I'm starting to cry, I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow." The part on the RIGHT may be even more heartbreaking. "Diego, you know that I want you and love you with all my life and heart. Diego you take advantage of my love and that's why you make fun of me." Signed Frida Kahlo. HEARTBREAKING "Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈFɾiða ˈKahlo]; 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. She is known for painting about her experience of chronic pain.
