Henry Ford Hospital 1932 Frida Kahlo Surrealist Art Print

There is a profound sense of isolation found within the vast, desolate landscape of industrial Detroit where a lone iron bed floats against a pale blue sky. In this 1932 masterpiece, the artist explores the depths of physical and emotional trauma through a series of six floating symbols tethered by red umbilical cords to the central figure.

About Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) was a Mexican painter known for intense self-portraits. Kahlo’s work draws on Mexican folk art, nature and her own life and health. Surrealism began in Paris in the 1920s and set out to unlock the imagination of dreams. The original image dates from 1932.
