Frida Kahlo. Still Life, Round, 1942.

This is my favorite among all her many wonderful works. It was originally painted for the Mexican presidential residence but was rejected for obvious reasons. The longer you stare, the deeper she goes with sexual suggestion. She also designed the round wooden vulvic frame.

@Tarnport oooh, those fungal hands! And spaghetti squash. You don’t get more visceral than that.

I’ve actually never seen this before. Thank you.

@colorblindcowboy absolutely happy to share. I love the story behind it too.

@Tarnport Perhaps there has already been one, but an exhibition of art, made for public places but never installed, would be interesting.

@colorblindcowboy is there a venue big enough...

@Tarnport Could we find a venue they paid an architect to make for the public but wasn’t used?

@abetterjulie I'm glad to spread it around. It's an important star in her oeuvre, imo.
