"The two fridas"
you can see two fridas the one in the left side has European clothes of a previous century, while the other is dressed in traditional Mexican attire.The European Frida’s bodice is torn apart to reveal a broken heart, while the Mexican Frida’s heart, although showing, is whole. Frida seems to be suggesting that Rivera only loved the Mexican part of her. Both the Fridas are connected by a single vein, which along with the fact that they are holding hands, symbolizes the fact that Frida’s best friend is herself, and she knows herself more than anyone else does. This painting was painted at a time of great sadness for Frida, when she had just divorced her husband, Diego Rivera.
