{"product_id":"weeping-coconuts-frida-kahlo","title":"Weeping Coconuts - Frida Kahlo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1951 still life by Frida Kahlo featuring anthropomorphised coconuts shedding tears, accompanied by a personal inscription on a small Mexican flag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrida Kahlo painted Weeping Coconuts in 1951, a period during which her health was in decline and her work became increasingly focused on still life subjects. This composition features two coconuts, anthropomorphised with facial features, appearing to shed tears. The fruit is presented alongside a slice of papaya and other produce, set against a dark, dense green background. A small Mexican flag is inserted into the arrangement, bearing the inscription: 'Pinto con todo cariño, Frida Kahlo' (I paint with all affection, Frida Kahlo).\n\nThe work reflects Kahlo's tendency to imbue inanimate objects with human emotion and personal narrative. By transforming the coconuts into weeping figures, she externalises her physical suffering and emotional state. The texture of the coconut husks is rendered with short, deliberate brushstrokes, contrasting with the smoother, flatter application of paint on the papaya and the flag. The inclusion of the flag serves as a direct address to the viewer, grounding the surreal elements in a specific, personal context. The colour palette is dominated by earthy browns, deep greens, and the bright yellow of the fruit, creating a sombre yet visually arresting image.\n\nThis piece is characteristic of Kahlo's later still life paintings, where the boundaries between the botanical and the psychological are blurred. The work avoids the grand scale of her earlier self-portraits, focusing instead on the intimate and the domestic. It remains a clear example of her ability to use traditional genres to communicate complex internal experiences. The painting is currently held in a private collection, representing a specific moment in the artist's career where her output was defined by a quiet, reflective intensity.\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\/a-night-at-saint-jean-man-ray\" 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;\"\u003eA Night at Saint Jean - Man Ray — Man Ray\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":57857532526927,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57857672610127,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57857672642895,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57857672675663,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57857672708431,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Weeping-Coconuts_Poster_CompositorV1_1780600564332.jpg?v=1780615479","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/weeping-coconuts-frida-kahlo","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
