Time Flies - Frida Kahlo Painting - Posters
100 Rs
Frida Kahlo de Rivera was a Mexican painter, who mostly painted self-portraits. Inspired by Mexican popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society.
Kahlo's paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicanidad movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a Surrealist or magical realist. Her work has been celebrated internationally as emblematic of Mexican national and indigenous traditions, and by feminists for what is seen as its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.

About Time Flies Frida Kahlo Painting
A starkly different persona emerges from Self-portrait (Time Flies) (circa 1929), as a late-20-something Kahlo dons a traditional Mexican costume. Painted around the first time she married Diego Rivera, Kahlo represents the archetypal images and colors repeated throughout his murals. The literal is a vehicle for intense impact, with a clock on a pedestal to her right and a small plane fluttering above her head. Absurdity seeps into the quotidian, as her elongated neck evokes a regal escape from oppressive, retrograde cultural norms.About the Posters
