rose-verres:

“A three second exposure meant that subjects had to stand very still to avoid being blurred, and holding a smile for that period was tricky. As a result, we have a tendency to see our Victorian ancestors as even more formal and stern than they might have been.”

This is so beautiful to me.

30-4-30:

On Frida Kahlo’s self portraits.

In keeping with my post about Dali: I do not like surrealism. This is what I am learning about myself through this project. That having been said, something about Frida Kahlo’s self portraits entrances me.

She wears a similarly subdued and bored expression in each, her head in a nearly the same position as well. However, without any typical illustration of emotion, Kahlo’s self portraits convey a sense of pleading, almost desperation.

Part of the emotion in these paintings comes through the strange and binding circumstances surrounding her in each. From disembodied body parts to morphing into nature, Kahlo displays the feelings of being trapped or bound without excessive drama or vibrato.

I think that is what appeals to me: her expert subtlety. In something as apparently simple as a pair of scissors or a necklace of thorns, there is a host of emotional connotations and messages. I hope that, in my life as an artist, I too can communicate my message without exorbitance.
