Cynthia Freeland is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Houston, Texas. His new book, Portraits and shows pictures of people who have served two important functions during the centuries. First, to preserve the identity, which brings us closer to our loved ones who are absent or are costly. And secondly, tell us something about the subject being represented: not only outside but also the emotions and the internal state of the subject. In the following passage Freeland self-analysis, in particular the work of Frida Kahlo.

There are 55 pictures, with a total of 143 of his paintings are known. Ironically, perhaps, the concern of mortality does not seem to be much thought here by paintings that show. Kahlo is also interested in the situation of women and their partnership and marriage in trouble with his teacher and fellow artist Diego Rivera. On the one hand, it is particularly interested in issues of national and ethnic identity. We can see many of these same concerns in their work, such as those faced by earlier artists: social status, artistic success, the identification of the key concerns itself with the main features, and mortality. Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) is another artist known for creating a long series of studies of himself in his art. Frida's face looks exactly like his work (unlike the faces of Rembrandt to Cezanne.) It is always recognizable by its carbon black hair, UNI-brow and deep black eyes, even when he sees how breastfeed her baby on his chest!. There are, however, some additional factors that arise in the work of Frida Kahlo. Your body hurts and suffering has become a recurring theme in the work of Kahlo. Kahlo in mortality have been intensified by his childhood polio and a bus accident that left her injured and require multiple operations.

It is alleged the existence of Kahlo Rembrandt and Cezanne, the nature of the series of self-constitution of self-portrait. A new feature of these states is that instead of doing a kind of autobiography, fiction or in life, Kahlo's work is, so to speak, a film in which she is the star.

Interestingly, in the case of Kahlo's self portraits are not the only source of the artist in your life, because he also wrote a diary that was published (in English and translated into English). This leads to questions before Rembrandt and Cezanne. A question is like the diary of an artist relates to an autobiography, and how gender relates to turn the self-narrative (if it really is) in their working lives. I think a newspaper is a different sort of self-narrative is an autobiography or a series of portraits, and it is doubtful that the proponents of narrative self-constitution to keep in mind that the narrator writes something like a newspaper . Further complicating things is where the artist is amply illustrated journal Nature, which contains some sketches for paintings and his family. If there are three competitors 'external' accounts of the life of Kahlo, then it would be fair to talk about trying to access your own? Or is it something completely different? As mentioned above, in this case, it seems plausible to identify the narrative is in itself (if applicable), with one of these three institutions. I feel the same reluctance in these cases as a story artist identifies with the best, most comprehensive and authoritative biography.
