Frida Kahlo’s breakthrough work is coming to Boston
It's a stunner, with a surprise behind it.
And now you can see it.
The very first painting that Frida Kahlo ever sold is now on display.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston announced that it is now home to the 20th century Mexican artist’s “Dos Mujeres (Salvadora y Herminia).” The 1928 painting is the only Kahlo painting to be acquired by a museum in New England.
The piece is a portrait depicting two childhood maids from Kahlo’s mother’s household, the Casa Azul (Blue House). It was one of Kahlo’s earliest works, created three years after a near-fatal bus accident left her with multiple injuries that would plague her the rest of her life. During her recovery Kahlo took up painting.
The way in which Kahlo painted "Dos Mujeres" is a good example of this closeness, she says.
"I think it's very self-consciously demonstrating to the viewers that these women are noble, that they have dignity and they they're worthy subjects for an artist to paint a beautiful portrait of."
Zavala —the author of multiplebooks about Kahlo — was one of the lucky few to see the painting before it was unveiled to the public on Wednesday. She said it was gorgeous, and unusually large by the artist's normal stan

Frida Kahlo, Whose Self-Portraits Spoke to the Soul
Farewell
Thanks for joining us this summer as we revisited some of the 200,000 memorable lives featured in The New York Times’s archive.
We wandered back into a fatal Alaskan odyssey and over the rainbow. We heard the echoes of shots that reverberated in America and around the world. We mingled with criminals, leaders, protesters, artists and athletes, many who forever changed their professions. We relived the first steps on the moon and the speech that divided India and Pakistan. And we asked Anderson Cooper, Cory Booker, Dominique Dawes, Tom Brokaw and David H. Petraeus whom from our archives they would dine with, and why.
You can find more fascinating New York Times obituaries, year round, here and on our Twitter feed. Click here for the continuing feature “Notable Deaths of 2016”, and if you want to revisit some of the most momentous obituaries to have appeared in The Times, you might look for “The Book of the Dead,” a compilation of obituaries dating back to the newspaper’s founding in 1851. It will be available for preorder and will appear on store shelves in October.
