FRIDA KAHLO. The Mask, 1945. (Kahlo conceals her features behind a papier-mâché caricature of a figure from Mexican history, known as La Malinche. She was the Indian mistress and translator for the conquistador Cortés, who overthrew the Aztec empire and claimed Mexico for Spain. Though considered a traitor ever since, she is also regarded as the founder of Mexico's mixed-race culture, being the mother of Cortés' child. In this conflicted character the artist found a mirror for her own anxieties, sometimes signing her letters 'Frida, La Malinche'.) Museo Dolores Olmedo Patiño, Xochimilco, Mexico City.
