The Two Fridas 1939 by Frida Kahlo

Some of Frida Kahlo's most famous works include this and other self-portraits painted in the late 1930's and early 1940's. The Two Fridas is Kahlo's largest painting and depicts her two minds after a bitter divorce from husband Diego Rivera, also a famous Mexican painter. One Frida clutches a portrait of Rivera yet sits stoically with her heart intact, and one Frida appears to have had her heart ripped out of her. This powerful piece depicts Kahlo's emotional depth and personal strength.
