Frida Kahlo Symbolism

1. Frida Kahlo’s Symbolism.  

Frida Kahlo’s work is infused with symbolism, such as a monkey on her shoulder. In Mexican mythology, a monkey represents the patron of the dance and is a symbol of lust. In this context, however, the monkey is more of a protector and friend and represents her animal alter ego. Locate more examples of Kahlo’s work.
