34. KAHLO, Frida
Self-Portrait as a Tehuana
Diego's miniature portrait on her brow indicates Frida's obsessive love for the fresco painter….he is always in
her thoughts. The roots of the leaves which she wears in her hair suggest the pattern of a spider's web in which
she seeks to trap her prey... Diego.

61. CHAGALL, Marc
Dreamer
Chagall’s Dreamer was completed just one year after the death of his wife, Bella.
As a bride and groom float above a basket of fruit, a traditional symbol of youth and fertility, a couple of lovers
lay beneath it, having consummated their love. The image of a goat symbolizes vitality—an affirmation of life
despite death’s recent triumph.
