Following this tragic accident Kahlo married an artist named Diego Rivera. Kahlo and Rivera connected in 1928. Kahlo asked Rivera to evaluate her work and he inspired her. They soon after started a romantic relationship. Even though Frida’s parents didn’t approve the two got married the next year 1929. Kahlo’s and Rivera’s marriage was not the ideal marriage. For many years they kept separate homes. Diego had many affairs and one of those affairs was told to be with Kahlo’s own sister. Kahlo wanted so badly to give Rivera children, but with her extensive injuries she suffered many miscarriages, and her doctors didn’t believe that it was safe. The painting that I chose to represent this event is another painting by Kahlo titled Henry Ford Hospital. This painting expresses all the emotions that Frida felt at this time. In this painting Kahlo is laying naked in a hospital bed. You can see the blood coming from her vagina which can signify a miscarriage. She has six items that look as if they are attached to her. One of those items being a fetus. She has a tear coming from her eye which shows that she obviously was not happy with how her life was at this time.
