Portrait of Miguel N. Lira 1927 Frida Kahlo

At this time in Kahlo’s paintings dark and gloomy colors are common, such as those in the Portrait of Miguel N Lira. The background language reflects Frida’s dark primitive interpretation of “Cubism,” while the Lira reflection uses elements borrowed from the Renaissance painter Michelangelo and the Italian painter Modigliani.
