Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who lived from July 6, 1907, to July 13, 1954. She did not fit into any specific style, but her style ranged from Naïve Art, Surrealism, and Magic Realism.
Henry Ford Hospital (The Flying Bed) by Frida Kahlo depicts a moment from the artist’s life that was not only physically painful but emotionally wrought.
Around her are six objects symbolizing her ordeal and ultimately her inherent emotions and desires linked to each just like the cords/strings attaching them to her in the depiction.
Henry Ford Hospital (The Flying Bed) depicts herself, as tender, saddened, completely vulnerable in her nakedness, and relatively small and helpless on what appears to be a slightly large hospital bed.
The Henry Ford Hospital painting depicts organic, naturalistic, lines, especially a variety of curved lines that delineate the objects and figure of Kahlo in the foreground.
