Frida Kahlo had a flair for the dramatic in her use of colors, composition, in her choice of imagery and iconography.

芙烈達·卡蘿在色彩運用、構圖、意象和圖像學的選擇上，都充滿戲劇感。

情態副詞

She's a master at instantaneously capturing the attention of the viewer.

她是瞬間抓住觀者注意力的箇中好手。

程度副詞

In the decade since her death, especially the most recent ones, culture has come to prize the this quality in creative work, the ability to grab people quickly above pretty much everything else.

在她過世後的這十年，特別是近幾年，文化越來越重視創意作品中的這種特質，也就是能快速吸引人們的目光，這幾乎凌駕於一切之上。

This, I think, is why Frida's painting has enjoyed continued and increasing popularity.

我想，這就是為什麼芙烈達的畫作持續受到歡迎，而且人氣不斷攀升的原因。

Yes, there's a sensationalistic obsession with the drama of her life, another thing that modern culture prizes.

是的，她的戲劇性人生確實引起了聳動的關注，這也是現代文化所重視的另一件事。

But that wouldn't arouse nearly as much interest if it weren't for the drama of her art, which is also sensational, but

但如果沒有她畫作中的戲劇性，這不會引起如此大的興趣，她的畫作也很聳動，但是

What is it that grabs us in Frida's work?

芙烈達的作品中，究竟是什麼抓住了我們？

For me, it's the intimacy of these images, the way she communicates her vulnerability, her physical and emotional pain, but

對我來說，是這些意象的親密感，她傳達自己脆弱、身體和情感痛苦的方式，但

also her defiance and self confidence and the pride she so clearly has in her culture.

還有她的反抗、自信，以及她對自己文化那份明顯的驕傲。

When I look at these paintings, I feel close to Frida, as if I was there when she painted them, as if we were friends.

看著這些畫作，我感覺跟芙烈達很親近，好像我當時也在她身邊看著她畫畫，好像我們是朋友一樣。

I think I probably share that feeling with millions of others around the world.

我想全世界有數百萬人可能跟我有一樣的感覺。

And I don't think that it's an accident, because the more you look at and think about Frieda's work, the more you see how expertly designed it is to cultivate this sense of intimacy.

而且我不認為這是巧合，因為你越看、越去想芙烈達的作品，就越能發現它是多麼巧妙地設計來培養這種親密感。

She uses several techniques to achieve this end, and

她運用了幾種技巧來達成這個目的，而且

they all work together in a way that is cumulative.

這些技巧都是累積起來，互相作用的。

The first and most obvious is, is her use of the self portrait.

第一個也是最明顯的，就是她對自畫像的運用。

There never was a more personal form of painting than this.

沒有什麼比這更個人化的繪畫形式了。

Of Frida's 143 canvases, only 55 are self portraits.

在芙烈達的 143 幅畫布中，只有 55 幅是自畫像。

But these comprise nearly all of her best and most popular works.

但這些作品幾乎都是她最棒、最受歡迎的作品。

Frida's greatest subject, in other words, is herself.

芙烈達最大的主題，換句話說，就是她自己。

You can look at them as a form of autobiography, and

你可以把這些畫看成是一種自傳，

as with any autobiography, they are a combination of self reflection and self creation.

而任何自傳一樣，它們都是自我反思和自我塑造的結合。

On the one hand, she's depicting the experiences of her life, the chronic pain she endured after a bus accident at age 18 in which she was impaled through the pelvis by an iron handrail, the love she felt for her husband, the famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, and

一方面，她描繪了她生命中的經歷，包括 18 歲時因公車事故被鐵製扶手刺穿骨盆而忍受的慢性疼痛，她對她丈夫、著名墨西哥壁畫家迪耶哥·裡維拉的愛，以及

the emotional turmoil caused by his infidelities and their eventual divorce.

他不忠和最終離婚所造成的Emotional turmoil。

On the other hand, she's fashioning the identity she wants to have, establishing herself as the paragon of a New Mexico.

另一方面，她塑造了她想要的身份，將自己確立為新墨西哥的典範。

Frida came of age in the wake of the Mexican Revolution, a decade long bloody struggle to establish a more equal society against the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, whose 31 years in power largely benefited wealthy landowners and foreign investors.

芙烈達在墨西哥革命之後成長，這是一場為期十年的血腥鬥爭，旨在反對波菲裡奧·迪亞斯的獨裁統治，以建立一個更平等的社會，他的 31 年執政很大程度上造福了富有的地主和外國投資者。

The cultural upshot of the revolution was a renewed interest and pride in Mexico's rich indigenous heritage.

革命的文化影響是重新燃起了對墨西哥豐富的本土遺產的興趣和自豪感。

Along with her husband, Frida was a key figure in the development of a new, less Eurocentric national identity.

芙烈達和她的丈夫一起，是發展一種新的、較少歐洲中心主義的國家認同的關鍵人物。

But whereas Rivera used epic, overtly political murals to champion this identity, Frida located the New Mexico in herself.

但裡維拉利用史詩般、明顯的政治壁畫來捍衛這種認同，而芙烈達則將新墨西哥的意象融入了她自己身上。

She frequently makes use of stories and symbols from Mexican folklore and Aztec mythology, like monkeys and hearts and skulls.

她經常運用墨西哥民間傳說和阿茲特克神話中的故事和象徵，像是猴子、心和頭骨。

She wears the necklace of the Aztec goddess Coatlicue, who gave birth to the moon and stars, as the story goes, and

她戴著阿茲特克女神科亞特利庫埃的項鍊，據說她生下了月亮和星星，還有

the Tiwana dress, traditional clothing of the Zapotec women of Tehuantepec.

蒂瓦納裙，這是特萬特佩克薩波特克婦女的傳統服飾。

Frida combine iconography and themes from various cultures and traditions to create a personal identity, a gender identity, a national identity, and

芙烈達結合了來自各種文化和傳統的圖像學和主題，創造了一種個人身份、性別身份、國家身份，以及

works of art that are all equally layered and complex.

同樣層次豐富且複雜的藝術作品。

Now, I really, really hesitate to bring up the word selfie, since Frida is doing something far more sophisticated than pretty much all of what you see on Instagram.

現在，我真的很、真的很猶豫要不要說「自拍」這個詞，因為芙烈達所做的，遠比你在 Instagram 上看到的絕大多數東西來得更精緻。

But in so much as her self portraits are always simultaneously a recording and a performance of identity, they're bound to be deeply relatable to modern audiences who think in these terms on a daily basis.

但就她不斷地記錄和展演身份的自畫像而言，她肯定會引起那些每天都在用這些方式思考的現代觀眾的共鳴。

Another thing that makes Frida's work so intimate is of course, the fact that she's looking right at us.

讓芙烈達的作品如此貼近人心的另一件事，當然是她直視著我們的眼睛。

She gazes through the canvas and into our souls.

她凝視著畫布，直視我們的靈魂。

You're not looking at a painting, you're looking at a person.

你看到的不是一幅畫，你看到的是一個人。

And that person is looking back at you, not with reassurance, but

而且那個人也在看著你，不是帶著安慰，

with a face that's stoic and inscrutable, that doesn't let you go.

而是帶著一種堅毅、難以捉摸的表情，讓你無法移開目光。

The last important thing I'll mention is the style of Frida's painting, which has a bit of an amateurish quality to it in its flattening of depth and skewed perspectives and anatomy.

最後一個我會提到的重要特點是芙烈達的繪畫風格，它在深度壓縮和扭曲的透視及解剖學上，帶有一點業餘的感覺。

Frida was an educated artist who knew how to paint realistically.

芙烈達是一位受過教育的藝術家，她知道如何寫實地繪畫。

She intentionally adopted this naive and primitive style, drawing from Mexico's tradition of votive paintings called retables or exbotos, religious images made by actual amateur and self taught painters to give thanks for a miracle, which you can find in churches and home altars across Mexico.

她刻意採用這種天真、原始的風格，從墨西哥一種叫做「retables」或「exbotos」的宗教畫傳統中汲取靈感，這些畫是由業餘和自學畫家創作，用來感謝神蹟的宗教圖像，你可以在墨西哥各地的教堂和家庭祭壇找到。

Some feature images of saints or religious figures, others depict the story of the miracle itself.

有些畫作描繪聖人或宗教人物，有些則講述神蹟的故事。

Frida had a collection of around 2000 such paintings.

芙烈達收藏了約兩千幅這樣的畫作。

Not only was she elevating this Mexican folk art tradition, she was also borrowing its down to earth quality.

她不僅提升了墨西哥的民間藝術傳統，也借鑒了它樸實的特質。

A feeling that someone, you know, someone from around the corner, made these paintings that you could make these paintings.

一種感覺，你知道的，彷彿是隔壁鄰居創作了這些畫，你也做得到。

Frida's work purposely doesn't position itself as highbrow, with all the solemnity and reverence that implies.

芙烈達的作品刻意不將自己定位在高高在上的藝術，那樣會顯得太嚴肅、太莊重。

That would only serve to erect a wall between her and her audience.

那樣只會在她和觀眾之間築起一道牆。

She aimed to do the opposite of history's uncountable artists only a fraction gain recognition, and

她的目標是做與歷史上無數只獲得極少人認可的藝術家相反的事，而且

most of the time it's local and fleeting.

大多數時候這種認可都是地方性的、短暫的。

Only a fraction of a fraction of a fraction enjoy the kind of recognition that puts their name on the world's lips, spoken by scholars and school children alike.

只有極少數中的極少數中的極少數，才能獲得讓學者和學童都掛在嘴邊的知名度。

I know we'll celebrate the brave and brilliant intimacy of her work for a long time to come, the way we celebrate a friend.

我知道我們會長久地慶祝她作品中那種勇敢又精彩的親密感，就像慶祝一位朋友一樣。
