Family portrait (Unfinished)

Frida Kahlo 1949 - 1950

Museo Frida Kahlo
Mexico, Mexico

Frida Kahlo was always very close to her family. This is clear in this unfinished artwork, Family Portrait. During a long time at the hospital in 1950, Frida tried to keep on painting this piece, but she didn't finish it. The artist painted a family tree with all the richness and variety of her origins: the purepecha blood of her mother and hungarian from her father. She also painted a fetus, a motif that is common in many of her artworks. This painting has not only her family roots, but the emotional ones as well.
