There is a lack of strong, individual women around me. (picture analysis)

— ❶ — In this picture, what I see is: the heroine Frida is attracted by the mural on the wall, and her boyfriend is also watching the mural beside her. The mural is the content of "Genesis", and the center of the picture is man spread his hands as a sign of sacrifice and giving. The composition of the picture is symmetrical, and the heroine and the god on the fresco are in a straight line. I think this will become a metaphor for Frida's life. The colors of the murals in the picture are more prominent, especially around the gods, which are surrounded by orange. The bright red clothing on both sides of the murals is in harmony with the orange color, making the whole picture a little warmer. When I look at this picture again, the publicity of the colors and individuality makes me feel the aggression of the content of the picture, as if to swallow the characters.

The most beautiful car accident scene

— ❷ — I personally like this picture - painting with pain. What the picture presents: A terrifying impact, the heroine's heart is covered in blood, and a long iron bar pierces her abdomen, enters her uterus, and finally pierces her vagina. Gold powder adorns Frida's wounded body. Such a thrilling and bloody picture, I have to applaud it, because in this painting, Frieda's heart is stained red with blood, and the shocking blood of the birth site stains his legs, indicating two important points of injury in Frieda's life. , one is trapped by love, and the other is the loss of female reproductive function. The whole pair is composed of red, yellow and black. The red blood color embellishes the heroine's warm heart, and the yellow gold powder decorates the heroine's splendid life. Black is sadness, pain, repression, and the inescapable suffering in the heroine's life.

The smell of wearing the plaster out of the skirt

— ❸ — This picture is an oblique composition. In the picture, the female protagonist is lying reclining on a hospital bed, holding a drawing plate and painting with one hand. When I saw this picture, I thought Frida was wearing a gorgeous dress decorated with brightly colored butterflies. When I took a closer look at this picture, I regretted making a rash assertion that the female protagonist painted the plaster on her body with beautiful butterflies. The upper left corner of the picture is blocked by a black object. In addition to the bed, the surrounding of the heroine is also a black environment. The milky white sheets and the bright heroine stand out from the darkness, and the painting is drawn obliquely to maximize the display of the heroine. The indomitable body and steadfast countenance of the Lord.

calm before the storm

— ❹ — This picture is full of food content, and all kinds of food and tableware are obviously carefully arranged, waiting for people to eat. There are two wine glasses on the picture, but a pair of tableware, which is a hint; a candle that emits a meager light in the distance of the table is still trying to light up the picture, which is another hint. The whole picture is dark tones, even if there is a well-decorated bright pomegranate flower on the table, and a piece of yellow in the upper left corner sets off the table, it cannot resist the threat of another color: the rich gray plate wraps the food, Therefore, this picture gives people a feeling of unease all the time, as if something bad is going to happen in the next second. The table doesn't cover the whole picture, there is still blank space in the upper left corner and the top of the picture, I think: this is going to happen some bad stories

The male protagonist is shaky

— ❺ — I am looking at this picture with deep sadness, but when I look closely at the content of the picture, it brings people a sad and depressed negative emotion. Because the whole picture is taken obliquely, the person in the middle feels like it is about to fall, and the drawing board, window, and table on the right seem to be overwhelmed all the time. There are not many things in the room, but it gives people a cluttered feeling. The woman drinking in the picture is telling us that she is sad, so when I look at this picture, I can see that people are also in the sad mood of the characters. The light in the picture is either at the window seat or behind the character, but it does not illuminate the middle character. The color of the middle woman's clothes is dark, telling us that she is immersed in sadness and cannot extricate herself. In the whole room, on the empty and depressing floor, the woman was squeezed in the center. The heroine was wearing a men's suit and drinking heavily. The pain that could not be avoided was printed on her face, and the person watching it was very uncomfortable.
