❤️This double self-portrait was the first large-scale work painted by Frida.💔 Painted in 1939 in order to assimilate her recent divorce, it is said to be the expression of her feelings since she always used her works as a means of expressing her interiority as well as to release her tensions and feelings In 1947, this painting was acquired by the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (National Institute of Fine Arts) in Mexico City. The purchase price was 4,000 Pesos (about $1,000) at that time and an additional 36 Pesos for the frame. That was the highest price that Frida was ever paid for a painting during her lifetime. The reproduction of this painting is on display in the Frida Kahlo Museum in Coyoacan, Mexico. #frida #fridakahlo #fridaportrait #fridakahloportrait #doubleportrait #autoretrato #selfportrait #painting #mexicanart #diegirivera #surrealism #mexicansurrealism #magicsurrealism #arthistory #art #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artoftheday (at Museo Frida Kahlo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKza4GACeN/?igshid=m8npxil3o2gf
