She produced numerous self-portraits, each one  an articulation of different facets of herself and her eventful life. Kahlo painted  Self- Portrait with Cropped Hair  in the wake of a particularly tumultuous time, just months  after she divorced her famous husband, Mexican Muralist painter Diego Rivera. He  had always admired her long, dark hair, which, as she indicates in the tresses littering  the painting, she had cut off after their split. She also shows herself in an oversized  suit resembling the ones that Rivera wore. Through such emotionally and symbolically  charged details, Kahlo expresses her feelings about her relationship with Rivera while  also asserting her sense of self as an independent artist","brand":"The Museum of Modern Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42663760986148,"sku":"9781633450752","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781633450752.jpg?v=1773177926","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/kahlo-self-portrait-with-cropped-hair","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
