Fridamania is everywhere and it’s often her striking, now famous monobrow we see proudly riding front and centre in her artwork.
Let’s delve into this turbulent relationship of twisted love triangles that led to Frida Kahlo pouring her heart into this painting and how she got the last laugh.

Welcome to Art Tales! I'm Louise Emily, an artist working in the UK, and this is a podcast where I tell you the surprising and often scandalous stories of how and why artworks were made, one painting at a time.
Have you ever looked at a painting and thought, that's just some old dude and some naked woman, and, nope, I have absolutely no idea what's going on? You are not alone! In galleries, people only spend about eight seconds looking at each artwork on display.
So I'm learning all the goss on the art and artists that have gone before me.
And trust me, you are going to want to hear these stories - seriously, the stuff they used to get up to!
But I still have so much to learn and I'd love you to join me on my quest, hunting for the hidden Easter eggs and juicy bits in my favourite paintings.
