Wounded Table


  • Painting measures 4 feet by 8 feet
  • Resembles a version of "The Last Supper", Frida being Christ in the middle of the table
  • The Juda on her right represents Diego when he had an affair with her sister Christina, the figure has his hands on the table as did the Judas that betrayed Christ
  • The Skeleton is holding a strand of her hair which may symbolize that she is "flirting with death"
  • The two children symbolize her sisters two kids who seem to be unaware of the whole situation
  • The characters have a lot of references to Frida's  leg and foot. (The Skeleton and Judas have bandaged feet, and the table has human legs) Which in a sense shows that her misfortune was one of the reasons that the divorce between her and diego happened.
