ニューヨーク近代美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク近代美術館Instagram)「Can you guess who the sitter is in this hair-strewn self-portrait? In a departure from the feminine clothing and accessories she often depicted herself wearing, #FridaKahlo sports a loose-fitting men's suit and short-clipped haircut in “Self-Portrait with Cropped Hair.” Take a closer look at the 1940 self-portrait. The androgynous persona may refer to Kahlo’s bisexuality, while the lyrics of a popular Mexican song that appear at top suggest the address of a lover: “Look, if I loved you it was because of your hair. Now that you are without hair, I don’t love you anymore.” Kahlo and her husband, the artist #DiegoRivera, had divorced in late 1939, and the painting indicates both the violence of separation and a newfound autonomy. Yet Kahlo also takes aim at misogyny and male fragility. For the #Surrealists, hair was charged and fetishized, capable of inciting both desire and disgust. The scissors’ position in her lap is a pointed reference to Freud’s concept of castration anxiety, or fear of emasculation. See the work in the #MoMACollection gallery Surrealist Objects, and unpack how it captures the artist’s evolving identity in a new book from our One on One series.
