Unknown photographer, 1940, Frida Kahlo & Miguel Covarrubias, Mexico City
Frida painting on her bed recovering from one of her operations, with Mexican painter Miguel Covarrubias at her side. The artist found a way to work, even while in traction. She used a device that allowed her to look up and draw and paint, and affixed a strong light to help her do so. Covarrubias, a Mexican painter and influential caricaturist, was a longtime friend of Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
