Frida Kahlo, My Birth or Birth, 1932

"Encouraged by Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo decided to document the major events fo her life in a series of paintings.  This first picture shows the artist's view of her own birth.  It also points, however, to the miscarriage which she has suffered shortly before.  the head of the mother is covered by a sheet--a reference to the death of her own mother while she was working on the picture."

Frida Kahlo, The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth(Mexico), Myself, Deigo and Senor Xolotl, 1949

"Frida Kahlo frequently adopted a maternal role towards her husband and emphasized that women in general, and "amongst them-I-always want most of all to hold him in their arms like a new-born baby."  The picture contains many elements derived from ancient Mexican mythology: day and night, sun and moon, the earth goddess Cihuacoatl.  the Itzcuintli dog Senor Xolotl, a being in the form of a dog who guards the underworld."
