Postoje umetnici koje cenimo zbog njihovog rada, i oni koje volimo jer su nam dotakli dušu. A Frida Kahlo... nju osećamo. Ona nije samo slikar, ona je rana koja nije prestala da peva.
There are artists we appreciate because of their work, and those we love because they touched our souls. And Frida Kahlo... we feel her. She is not only a painter, she is a wound that has not stopped singing.
U njenim autoportretima nema uljepšavanja. Frida ne traži da joj se divimo – ona nas poziva da budemo iskreni, brutalno iskreni, kao što je ona bila prema sebi.
There is no embellishment in her self-portraits. Frida does not ask us to admire her - she invites us to be honest, brutally honest, as she was with herself.
Sve što ju je bolelo, slomilo, razapelo – ona je pretočila u boju. Njeno platno je bilo i ogledalo i bojište.
Everything that hurt her, broke her, crucified her - she turned it into color. Her canvas was both a mirror and a battlefield.
Rođena između revolucije i oluje, Frida je živela s telom koje je stalno izdavalo, ali s duhom koji je prkosio i bolu i smrti.
Born between revolution and storm, Frida lived with a body that constantly betrayed, but with a spirit that defied both pain and death.
Njena invalidnost, nesreća, ljubav prema Diegu Riveri, Meksiku, sopstvenom telu koje je i obožavala i mrzela – sve je to deo jedne jedinstvene, neukrotive žene.
Her disability, her misfortune, her love for Diego Rivera, Mexico, her own body that she both adored and hated - it's all part of a unique, indomitable woman.
Frida me uvek podseti da umetnost nije beg od bola, već njegovo pretvaranje u nešto što može da dotakne drugog. Njene slike nisu lepe u klasičnom smislu – one su istinite. A istina, kad je izneseš ogoljenu, zna da bude veličanstvena.
Frida always reminds me that art is not an escape from pain, but turning it into something that can touch another. Her pictures are not beautiful in the classical sense - they are true. And the truth, when you bring it out naked, it can be magnificent.
