{"product_id":"still-life-round-frida-kahlo","title":"Still Life (Round) - Frida Kahlo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA circular still life by Frida Kahlo, featuring a detailed arrangement of Mexican fruits, vegetables, and flora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrida Kahlo produced this circular composition in 1942, demonstrating her engagement with the traditional genre of still life painting. Unlike her more autobiographical self-portraits, this work focuses on the botanical and organic forms native to Mexico. The painting is contained within a circular wooden frame, which dictates the arrangement of the subjects. A central, halved squash serves as the primary element, revealing its fibrous interior and seeds. Surrounding this are various fruits, vegetables, and fungi, including garlic, plums, and citrus, all rendered with precise attention to texture and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKahlo incorporates elements of the natural world that appear frequently in her wider body of work, such as butterflies and moths, which rest upon the produce. The composition is framed by a dense wreath of flowers and leaves, creating a sense of containment and abundance. The dark, moody background provides a contrast to the warm, earthy tones of the vegetation, drawing the eye toward the centre of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects Kahlo's interest in Mexican identity and the natural environment. By choosing a circular format, she departs from the conventional rectangular canvas, forcing a different spatial logic upon the viewer. The arrangement is balanced yet dense, avoiding the emptiness often found in minimalist compositions. The lighting is controlled, suggesting a studio setting where the artist could observe the decay and growth of her subjects with clinical precision. While the work lacks the overt psychological trauma present in her other paintings, it remains a clear example of her technical skill and her ability to imbue everyday objects with a sense of gravity and presence. The inclusion of insects and specific botanical specimens suggests a scientific curiosity, linking her artistic practice to the broader tradition of natural history illustration.\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=\"\/sv\/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=\"\/sv\/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 \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58837914124623,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58839365157199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58839365189967,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Still-Life-Round-_Poster_CompositorV1_1789963953137.jpg?v=1789964288","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/still-life-round-frida-kahlo","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
