{"product_id":"me-and-my-doll-frida-kahlo-1","title":"Me and My Doll - Frida Kahlo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1937 portrait by Frida Kahlo featuring the artist seated beside a doll, rendered in her characteristic direct and introspective style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted in 1937, Me and My Doll is an early example of the autobiographical focus that defines the work of Frida Kahlo. The composition features the artist seated on a wooden bench, positioned beside a small, stark doll. Kahlo wears a traditional white blouse with embroidered detailing and a long green skirt, reflecting her identification with Mexican culture and her personal style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe setting is sparse, with a neutral wall and terracotta-tiled floor providing a quiet backdrop. The doll, with its pale, rigid features, sits upright on the bench, creating a sense of stillness. Kahlo gazes directly at the viewer, her expression composed yet guarded. The painting demonstrates her use of simple, direct forms to convey internal states. Unlike her later, more complex compositions, this piece relies on a restrained palette and a clear, frontal arrangement to establish its mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKahlo often used dolls and toys in her work to explore themes of isolation, childhood, and the physical fragility she experienced throughout her life. The juxtaposition of the living subject and the inanimate object invites observation of the relationship between the two. The brushwork is precise, maintaining a smooth surface that aligns with the aesthetic of Mexican retablos, a form of folk art that influenced her technical approach. This print captures the specific textures of the original oil on metal, from the weave of the fabric to the painted surface of the doll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-return-of-the-flame-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Return of the Flame - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-black-horse-john-atherton\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Black Horse - John Atherton — John Atherton\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frida Kahlo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861375947087,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861515473231,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861515505999,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861515538767,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861515571535,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Me-and-My-Doll_Poster_CompositorV1_1790147880585.jpg?v=1790148516","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/me-and-my-doll-frida-kahlo-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
