L'œuvre en bref
Painted in 1938, What Water Gave Me is one of Frida Kahlo's most introspective paintings. The work is not a self-portrait in the classical sense, but a mental and symbolic projection of her memories, her pain and her obsessions. It brings together elements from her personal life, her imagination and Mexican history, in an abundant, floating composition. The painting illustrates the close link between the body, memory and the psyche.
From the perspective of the bathtub, we see Frida's legs and feet submerged in water, with blood dripping from an injured toe. Miniature scenes float on the surface: a dead woman, an erupting volcano, the Empire State Building, mythological figures, a shell, a naked couple, a portrait of her parents and a yellow dress. Here, water becomes a metaphor for the mind, the unconscious or the dream, where sensuality, death, physical suffering and meditation on identity mingle.
