I don't understand the 'self pity' argument, when arguing against her artistic skill. Painting (and art in general) is more than a way of creating pretty pictures and pretty things. It's self expression and Frida expressed herself unapologetically through her paintings. It's raw honestly and the brutal realitites of her life depicted in a way that represented her on such a personal level that you can feel her through the brush strokes, even now, so long after her death.
The movie, Frida, did not depict the depth of her life well enough. I know it needed to appeal to people who love watching movies, but it was a surface level depiction of her life. Diego Rivera was not good man, and the movie tried to shine some light in him. This documentary series was truly invigorating. You captured all the aspects about the person she was through your analysis of the paintings. Thank you so much for taking the time for creating this series.
I liked that Maria Felix was mentioned in this video as I feel like she's usually omitted in biographies of Frida and Diego. She was known for having a very headstrong personality and always saying what she felt. I remember my grandmother who is a big fan of both told me an anecdote that Felix told in one of her interviews. Although Felix wore a normal white dress for that painting, Diego painted it to be sheer and to show her n!pples. She hated the painting as mentioned in the video, however, it was said that when she was having work done on her house, she asked one of the workers who was painting the house white to at least cover up the n!pples on the painting. She acted nonchalantly about it, but the worker was scared out of his mind because I mean I'm sure anyone would freak out at the thought of having to paint over a Diego Rivera painting. I believe that the current painting does have the n!pples covered up as Maria Felix wished. Sorry for the long paragraph, I thought I'd share this anecdote. I loved the video!
"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?" - Frida Kahlo "Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.” - Frida Kahlo "I am that clumsy human, always loving, loving, loving. And loving. And never leaving." - Frida Kahlo
I've always loved Frida's artwork but never knew the deep backstories behind them. I'm so glad you've handled her story with compassion and respect to her. It was a much enjoyable series ♡
I think this part of the series truly confirmed my feelings about Rivera. He viewed women more like objects to own. Kahlo was groomed and I cannot imagine how many other women he made uncomfortable at the very least. Which is exactly what made my heart ache when the letter was brought up. Regardless of Kahlo’s ‘rebellion’, he was still all her heart wanted.
Learning about peoples life stories as difficult as Frida's help remind me to be grateful for the life I have. I couldn't imagen living a life as painful as Frida's must have been.
That photo of Frida and her nurse is very touching. Frida is smoking, laying in her bed, looking very much still the beauty she was, and the nurse is gazing at her, admiringly. I believe she was a tortured genius.
You did a beautiful job on this. Whenever I 'don't feel like painting" I think of Frida and what she had to fight through. I've had chronic pain due to an accident and resisted surgery for a long time. There comes a time when pain takes over your entire mind and all your brain with register is pain, pain, pain. One surgery worked for me. Poor Frida --- in those days surgery might have been experimental as well.
While I may not agree with Kahlo politically, I can't help but be utterly fascinated by her life and how she translated her thoughts, feelings, and pain onto a canvas. Incredible documentary!
Such a sad story, but such a Great artist.. You do Very well highlighting the lives of the worlds Most memoriable and inspirational artist of the times.. Thanks Mr.Dweller.
Her art spoke to me before I knew anything about her at all. Before I knew that she was a famous artist who was already dead. Before I knew anything about art in general. I think that says a lot about whether or not she was a “good artist”. If your art causes many a random nobody to stop and gaze and become entranced - I would say it’s quite powerful. Then, when you take time to learn about her life…she becomes so inspiring.
The painting with Diego on her forehead where he has an eye on his forehead(forgot the name) means to me that as she had him on her thoughts he had "looking" on his as in looking for others. I love how her symbolism can ve very heavy handed whilst at the same time being nuanced. Rest in Peace, Frida
You did a great job with the documentary. My conclusion is that she was an amazing artist, art is supposed to have at least **some** meaning, and her art has a lot of meaning.
Just want to remind anyone reading this- you are worth so much, do not beg for anyone’s love if they don’t deserve it… If someone shows you they are okay with hurting you, they don’t deserve you. Diego sucked. Frida was so worthy of real, caring, unconditional love…
I really relate to this part of her story. I have also suffered from debilitating chronic pain for years, and surgeons just kept telling me, THIS is the one!! this is the one that will make your pain go away! ...it never worked, just caused more scar tissue and tightness. For any fellow artists who are in the same boat, PLEASE try massage therapy and chiropractic work before going under the knife. there is hope to get better without surgery.
I was going to say this too. Surgery for chronic pain is not usually going to help. Surgery only helps when there is a clear cause -- that something must be removed or repaired. PT and other treatments are more effective for just pain. It's kind of tragic that Frida would likely have been spared a lot of extra pain and suffering if they just stopped operating and had her do some physical therapy. Having her lay in bed in a medical corset for so long probably hurt more than it helped also. I wonder how much of her pain was psychosomatic as well.
Love what you did !!! She is one of my favorite people ❤ 🇲🇽 I am Mexican descent it myself!!!! Her life fascinated me fascinates me! Especially for a woman and especially around that time when she was living Wow!!!!!
This is surely one of the most wonderful portayal of an artist, that I have seen. Truly compelling from the first take on. Thank you! What an incredible life story and what a tremendously courageous and beautiful woman, always exposing her heart and cherishing and making the most out of her pain-burdened and torturous path. Never giving in to a half-life, never bending, nor surpressing her feelings, but letting herself be vulnerable and real becoming an inspiration and an example of what it means to be human!
came back exited. Got really a lot of satisfaction from this. Makes me think I could make art too even tho‘ I am in chronic pain. It made me stop. Maybe its time to start again 😊
Hey man, just wanted to say, you did a REALLY good job with this series. You always do, but i was particularly impressed with this one. I've always loved Ms. Kahlo ever since I was a really little kid in Spanish class. I'm a Spanish speaker and her impact on the Spanish-speaking world is almost impossible to overstate. Thanks for making such a great series! Alex
This series is absolutely incredible. I really appreciated it. I realized through this series why her work has always resonated with me, and how much of her I subconsciously registered just via associating with her paintings. God, Diego Rivera was such an unrepentant asshole. It's wild....
Thank you so very much for making this video of the magnificent Frida Kahlo. I absolutely love her art, her courage, her beautiful style & her originality. What she saw in Diego, baffles me. I read somewhere that people referred to him as an elephant 🐘 it fits! Bravo Frida Rest In Peace lovely lady.
She was an artist who depicted her pain in art form , also dealing with physical pain her whole life, Frida lived to tell her story, A story of real life pain that many are to scared to tell, that is what makes Frida a great artist!
You know, I recall that there are some pop culture depictions of Frida that make her seem insufferably arty and self-obsessed, but knowing what I know now makes them seem a bit unfair. I knew she had some traumas I didn't know how far and deep and long lasting they were. Not to casually do the "this relates to MY ART by the way IM AN ARTIST TOO" thing in a comment, I know that in times of stress or sadness I've felt better doing a self portrait of sorts to capture it, so I can get why she would feature herself so often in her works.
Frida was the first artist whose life and art I had to study. I was a teenager who just didn't want to do the work, so I cared little for it. Now as an older adult, I have a much deeper appreciation for her story and her art. Wonderfully done series.
I'm not interested in judging whether someone is technically good or bad, I'm interested in what artists are trying to say, and that's what has made the pain of frida so fascinating. Thank you for putting it together.
Who was the photographer/ or were the photographers who captured her in so many fabulous photos? Your documentary has given us a new appreciation for her art and her spirit! Henry has loved her for a long long time, and this documentary has given him a new look at his appreciation for her wonderful talent and beautiful soul!
for any human being , to go through so many constant life changing and altering events and remain also constantly resilient until their last breath and never letting anything conclude their passion , is something to be truly admired. I sincerely thank you for documenting Kahlo's journey.
First time finding your channel. Beyond excellent. Especially the highlight of other artists at the end. I’m not a painter but a choreographer so artistic outlasts are always interesting to me. New subscriber here!
I first learned about her when I was about seven years old on a book created to highlight important women in history. I've always felt respect for her, even before knowing about her story. She went through so much and, even at the end, she was able to say "viva la vida". She's incredible. Truly, awesome. I would have loved to meet her.
watching your videos became a precious part of my routine since i’ve discovered your channel. the Frida’s series was amazing as usual. thank you for such an amazing job.
As many artist that are great we must not forget that they are still human they hate they cry they say dumb things they can be wrong and they can believe odd things or things different than us.Still they are amazing artists who put so much passion into their works I love her art but I strongly disagree with what she believes but still I respect her and look at her art and strive to be a great artist who can be vulnerable just like she was with her art.
You did a wonderful job with this series, and wow...I definitely felt Frida's pain when I saw the paintings. I learned about her indirectly at first, in a job I had about five years ago.
ohhh the pain she endured and was in… absolutely heartbreaking.. it is my absolute intense prayer Frieda is completely immersed in just pure bliss, pure Love, knowing only Light, experiencing only complete freedom and complete Peace where she is now.. bless her bless her bless her.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
that damn Diego😡😡.. caused her sooo much grief and despair.. and he was soooo, (sorry) UNattractive.. what on earth was her attraction to him??? unsupportive, disloyal, untrustworthy and completely uncommitted.. what a complete mystery.. and so extremely sorrowful..
Thank you for sharing such beautiful documentary on her. Your videos has inspired me to continue working on my art ❤. She is truly amazing while going through pain and able to create such amazing works.
Something I noticed about the broken column painting is that what appears to be the largest nail is right over her heart. Maybe alluding to her heartbreak over Diego?
Suggestion for other episodes- Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko, or Edvard Munch? Plenty of talent, and interesting lives. I appreciate your work very much. I’ve learned a lot.
If any artist had the right to self pity it's her fr and I can't think of a famous artist or writer or anything that doesn't "self pity" I fr think yall just hate women gurl who said that imma beat someone up
Enjoyed this a great deal-thank you. I’m new to your channel and haven’t yet looked at your video history. I’ve always found Georgia O’Keefe interesting…though I know little. Have you already covered her?
I do have to say I love your videos! I love art and art history and you just seem to do it better than the rest. I also have to mentition, I might be wrong but is there a face in Frida's right eye (our left) in Diego and I? In the lower outer part, it's very faint but it REALLY looks like a face. Maybe Fridas reflection as she paints?
About her last painting: 'Viva la Vida'. In my opinion, I see the cantaloupe on the upper left side as a woman's breast, the nipple and the veins showing, full of milk. I see on the low left the melon seeds very clearly as spermatozoa (including a faint painted tail), all swimming towards the warm and fertile womb in the middle. I see on the lower right the melon with the sharp teeth, because life will bite you and is scary. On the upper right, I see a vagina, (including labia minor). And in the middle a giant black melon, impersonating 'the Death' in the middle of all life as a contrast. There is no life without death, and vice versa. As in answer to the question: "What is 'the dark side of the moon'?" with: "There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun. (which is Life)" Frida Kahlo was a brave, very human, strong woman. Her paintings make me cry. Although I don't share her political views. She was human, all too human. A very great artist.
I don't understand the 'self pity' argument, when arguing against her artistic skill. Painting (and art in general) is more than a way of creating pretty pictures and pretty things. It's self expression and Frida expressed herself unapologetically through her paintings. It's raw honestly and the brutal realitites of her life depicted in a way that represented her on such a personal level that you can feel her through the brush strokes, even now, so long after her death.

I agree. And that movie was brought to us by Harvey Weinstein 🤢
💯 it's the main stream version if that makes sense, doesn't capture her essence in its full. But more packaged and sellable.
I liked that Maria Felix was mentioned in this video as I feel like she's usually omitted in biographies of Frida and Diego.

Geez there is no doubt she's a great artist .she knew how emotion using abstract and her technical skills were far past Diego's.
I agree. She was the true artistic genius.
You did a great job with the documentary.

The Watermelon painting got to me... The undying optimism she held throughout her life was stunning
Love how you respect the artist you talk about and love how you explain art pieces with your heart.
the art of frida is so beautiful
hugs from brazil
Your presentation was flawless. Much better than than the movie about her. Personally, I believe she was a genius. She did something new. Thank you.
Love what you did !!! She is one of my favorite people ❤ 🇲🇽 I am Mexican descent it myself!!!! Her life fascinated me fascinates me! Especially for a woman and especially around that time when she was living Wow!!!!!
She is a genius. Life is a painful regardless of the path you are on. Her technique is extraordinarily and seeing her pieces in person is spectacular.
This is surely one of the most wonderful portayal of an artist, that I have seen. Truly compelling from the first take on. Thank you!

What beautiful Representation Of Frida Kahlo. You have told an awesome story.
This series is absolutely incredible. I really appreciated it. I realized through this series why her work has always resonated with me, and how much of her I subconsciously registered just via associating with her paintings.
God, Diego Rivera was such an unrepentant asshole. It's wild....
Casa Azul was so inspiring. Can't wait to go back in the future. Hopefully soon!
To go there myself one day is certainly on my to-do list, it really does sound so inspiring to visit!
Thank you so very much for making this video of the magnificent Frida Kahlo. I absolutely love her art, her courage, her beautiful style & her originality. What she saw in Diego, baffles me. I read somewhere that people referred to him as an elephant 🐘 it fits! Bravo Frida Rest In Peace lovely lady.
She is my biggest inspiration
This documentary truly brought me to tears and it’s been a while since something did that. Also, this artist you featured is incredibly talented!
She was an artist who depicted her pain in art form , also dealing with physical pain her whole life, Frida lived to tell her story, A story of real life pain that many are to scared to tell, that is what makes Frida a great artist!
Thank you so much for such a beautiful series on Frida. It would be great to see you do a similar series on Vali Myers. Thanks for all your hard work.
Amazing!! Breaks me heart she passed alone but what unique pieces she created through it all
beautiful beautiful painfully beautiful… learned so much and this series touched me deeply.. thank you BD💕💕💕
Thank you so much 🖤 happy yo hear you learned a lot! 😁

Great series, most fascinating. Thank.
Thanks for this series, I learned so much about Kahlo's life. So many photos I had not seen before.

As many artist that are great we must not forget that they are still human they hate they cry they say dumb things they can be wrong and they can believe odd things or things different than us.Still they are amazing artists who put so much passion into their works I love her art but I strongly disagree with what she believes but still I respect her and look at her art and strive to be a great artist who can be vulnerable just like she was with her art.
Thank you for making this series about Frida Kahlo. This was very informative and the amount of detail you put into it really shows.
Thank you Blind Dweller
You did a wonderful job with this series, and wow...I definitely felt Frida's pain when I saw the paintings. I learned about her indirectly at first, in a job I had about five years ago.
Thank you so much for this touching series of videos of my darling Frida.
Any one that can paint better then me it’s a great artist! Thank you for this video! I found out a lot of things I did not knew!
The context and story of the art is so important!
Thank you for taking the time tell such a memorable, intensive story. Wow...
I am blown away by how well you deliver your content! It is so good and thorough. The depth of detail is astounding in your work. I just love it.
I also greatly appreciate your artist corner! Awesome work and wonderful way to support contemporary artists. Your voice is also very soothing !!
ohhhh that personal Diary of Kahlo’s.. i can only imagine how intense, beautiful and dear..
ohhh the pain she endured and was in… absolutely heartbreaking.. it is my absolute intense prayer Frieda is completely immersed in just pure bliss, pure Love, knowing only Light, experiencing only complete freedom and complete Peace where she is now.. bless her bless her bless her.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
her Tree of Hope masterpiece is hauntingly and deeply deeply moving.. it is heartbreaking and also incredibly beautiful..
that damn Diego😡😡.. caused her sooo much grief and despair.. and he was soooo, (sorry) UNattractive.. what on earth was her attraction to him??? unsupportive, disloyal, untrustworthy and completely uncommitted.. what a complete mystery.. and so extremely sorrowful..
ohhh noooo😭😭😭😭.. she had to have a leg amputated… 😖😖🥺🥺🥺.. this incredible woman still persisted thru it all… bless her bless her bless her..
This was a great series. Thank you so much. ❤
This is an incredible series!
You did another great job with this series. I’m grateful, thanks!
Thank you for this series,l enjoyed it immensely!! Brilliant,BRAVO ❤👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing such beautiful documentary on her. Your videos has inspired me to continue working on my art ❤. She is truly amazing while going through pain and able to create such amazing works.
Thank u so very much for amazing beautiful information…wonderful job! 👏🔥oliver
She is a great artist, always will be. Just as she will always be fearless! Viva la vida! ❤
Something I noticed about the broken column painting is that what appears to be the largest nail is right over her heart. Maybe alluding to her heartbreak over Diego?
You should do a video about Yoko Ono, as she's had a really interesting career, but is often misrepresented.
Excellent doc work! KUDOS
Not really a fan of her actual artwork but I do think Frida was an extremely interesting person and this is a great trilogy of videos.
Really really really enjoyed this series
La mejor maestra.
at 25:57 with the painting of her family... her sister Matilda (furthest left I think) looks so much like my mother it is almost scary
Lets go we can always use more art content!!!!!!!!!!
She was so young during all of this. So much happened in such short time. I cant help but wish she had found someone other than Diego
I enjoyed the Frida series.
Thank you for this series of videos on beloved Frida Kahlo. I would like to see a video on Alice Neel. She is a fascinating artist.
Suggestion for other episodes- Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko, or Edvard Munch? Plenty of talent, and interesting lives. I appreciate your work very much. I’ve learned a lot.
thank you
Alchemist she is and was. Studied by many. Good luck to us that admire and think. 😊
If any artist had the right to self pity it's her fr and I can't think of a famous artist or writer or anything that doesn't "self pity" I fr think yall just hate women gurl who said that imma beat someone up
Enjoyed this a great deal-thank you.
I’m new to your channel and haven’t yet looked at your video history. I’ve always found Georgia O’Keefe interesting…though I know little. Have you already covered her?
Really hoping you can do a video on Italian artist Ella Walker someday, even just a short one
I do have to say I love your videos! I love art and art history and you just seem to do it better than the rest. I also have to mentition, I might be wrong but is there a face in Frida's right eye (our left) in Diego and I? In the lower outer part, it's very faint but it REALLY looks like a face. Maybe Fridas reflection as she paints?
Love your videos 🌠♥️☔🌆🌼
I recommend looking into Zdzisław Beksiński's works. I think you'll find them fascinating!
He has posted 10 months ago on the channel
Thank you!!👍🏼💜
Do a video on Rufino Tamayo
About her last painting: 'Viva la Vida'. In my opinion, I see the cantaloupe on the upper left side as a woman's breast, the nipple and the veins showing, full of milk.

Frida Kahlo was a brave, very human, strong woman. Her paintings make me cry. Although I don't share her political views.
She was human, all too human. A very great artist.
