    Frida's work has characterized as Naif Art or folk art. She felt at having both European and Mexican heritage. Frida painted this self-portrait in 1944 when her health had deteriorated to the point where she had to wear a steel corset. This is my favourite painting because is a reflection of her current physical and emotional state at the time.

    The Broken Column

    In 1944 when Frida painted this self-portrait, her health had deteriorated to the point where she had to wear a steel corset. The straps of the corset seem to be all that is holding the artist's broken body together and upright. An Ionic column, broken in several places, symbolizes her damaged spine. The yawning cleft in her body is repeated in the furrows of the bleak fissured landscape. An even more powerful symbol of her pain are the nails piercing her face and body. This is my favourite painting because is a reflection of her current physical and emotional state at the time.
