O DIÁRIO DE FRIDA KAHLO EM QUESTÃO: entre o autorretrato e a memória coletiva

Abstract

This course conclusion work aims to carry out a critical reading of the “diary”, a facsimile version, of Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), a Mexican artist who became one of the symbols of modern Mexican art and played a major role performance in left-wing political movements in Mexico. To analyze the boards, so called the pages of the diary that was produced over the last decade of life of the artist, we chose to outline a brief biography of the artist (TIBOL, 2012; MAESTRO,2014; ABREU, 2008a), where facts and works intertwine, then we sought to identify Frida Kahlo's artistic influences, understanding that the artist appropriated techniques and forms and mixed them with his own questions and collective, such as their pain and miscarriages, and also their descent and identity Mexican. Finally, we dedicated ourselves to reading Frida Kahlo's diary, with a view to discussion whether it is a diary or an artist's book, and we group themes that emerge from the pages and which tend to return on different boards, like the collective memory Mexican, Frida Kahlo's political inclination and the pain that involved her body and the love for Diego Rivera.
