Title

  • Frida Kahlo : roupa como discurso (cultura, arte e identidade)

Summary

  • "This research is based on the interpretive analysis of the wardrobe of Frida Kahlo from images of the book "El Ropero de Frida" 2007. The Mexican artist had a strong visual identity and she was able to communicate through her clothing. The clothes allow the formation of a non-verbal language and when we analyze the body dressed, we find personal speeches. Within a society the language is subject to cultural and esthetic values, but questions of political interests, patterns of decorum and artistic movements influence the choice of colors, proportions, volumes and accessories. Frida Kahlo's life was troubled, and her body was formed and transformed by diseases and accidents. As a counterpoint to a history of frailty, the artist became a strong woman. His personality, his political engagement and mainly his artistic career reflect how she lived. Analyzing her wardrobe, we recognize three models of speeches in different panels. The daily panel shows the Frida's clothes daily routine. Casual pieces adapted to the customs and weather of her country. The pieces that the artist wore with strong Mexican influence are gathered in the cultural panel. Wheel dresses, embroidered gowns, with striking references of the Tehuan tribes and pieces that allow the symbolic reading of the strong Mexican culture. And the protest panel features the clothes Frida Kahlo used with the intention of clearly exposing her political intentions or personal dissatisfaction. Men's pieces, black clothes and corsets with communist symbols were able to shock the moment it was proposed. Common to all three panels is Frida's strong personality, her willingness to hide her physical disability with skirts and dresses, her passion for accessories and colors, and her fascinating personal history." -- Unedited abstract from work.
