Title: Urban Landscape
Year Produced: 1925
Size: 34,4 x 40,2 cm, 13 ½" x 15 ¾"
What is it about: After Kahlo left the hospital where she was recovering from her bus accident, she painted this small stark rooftop scene. In this painting, we can see how Frida was learning new techniques. Witness to the change of Mexico towards an industrial area, she wanted to reflect it in her work. The structure of this painting is not naive and is a bit more complicated than previous paintings. With the simple square structures and the lack of color, Frida is able to transmit the coldness and desolation of this urban landscape.
