This is Frida Kahlo’s painting “The Broken Column”. It was painted after her spinal surgery which was performed to correct injuries caused by a severe traffic accident. In this painting she represents her spine as a shattered column, held together by the back brace she had to wear. Nails embedded in her skin represent where she’s in pain. This painting shows how debilitating and all encompassing Kahlo’s pain was and the major affect it had on her life.
