Between the Borderline of Mexico and The United States

"The image of self-portrait often tells the audience information on the identity, personality, environment, emotions, interests of artists." "Between Mexico and the United States", Frida Kahlo expresses the environment and cultural identity of her alien. I feel it. This will be demonstrated by analyzing portraits to prove the above references. The full names of Frida Kahlo are Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo and Calderónde Rivera. She was born in Mexico on July 6, 1907.

Her negative feelings about the American name "Gringolandia" is a canvas in the form of "self-portrait at the border of Mexico and the United States" (1932) and "My clothes are hanging there" (1933) It was expressed in. In self-portrait, Frida stood on the boundary between two different worlds. On the one hand industrialized USA, and on the other hand her beloved Mexican. Wearing a pink Mexican-style dress with the flag of Mexico, she's definitely no mistake. In "My clothes are hanging there", Frida draws a collage depicting the lifestyle of the American "capitalist". It is filled with the symbol of modern American industrial society and represents the decline of society and the destruction of human basic values. This picture is rare, not only because it is a collage, but also because the Frida himself did not appear in this picture ... may prove the fact that she did not want to go there Hmm.

The long history between Mexico and the United States, the important event is that America conquered northern Mexico in the 1830s and 1840s - today's California to Texas -. This conquest has created a complicated view of the United States in both anger and embarrassment. From that perspective, the tragedy of Mexico is that it is still related to the United States. The North American Free Trade Agreement, which is controversial in the United States, had a major impact on Mexico. Entry into the US market reconstructed the Mexican economy and strengthened its immeasurable power. It also produces a huge imbalance - economically beneficial for Mexico and is politically endorsed by the United States. When you send 80% of exports to the country, that country has tremendous power. Not only political facts but also politicians trying to end trade in a way may be there. This is also an obvious macroeconomic: Mexico is subject to pneumonia when the US economy catches a cold.
