Kahlo married Diego Rivera & theirs was a stormy relationship. Here’s a self-portrait with Rivera (1931), her self-portrait, where he appears to symbolises her imagination (1949), and Self-portrait as a Tehuana (1943). The irony is she was the more imaginative one

Famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-54) died OTD. Throughout her life she focused on exploring her own image - as for her, the personal was universal - in understanding herself, her country & the role of woman in society. Here are self-portraits from 1940 & 1939

One of my favourite pictures by him is of the Mystic Wood where he captured a twilight forest exquisitely. The Mystic Wood (1914-17), Flower Study (1915-16) & I Am Half Sick of Shadows, Said the Lady of Shalott (1915)

Ophelia was a popular subject for the PRB & Waterhouse painted the doomed maiden at least three times - each stunning. Ophelia (1910), Sketch of Circe (c1911-14), The Charmer (1911) & A Song of Springtime (1913)

His mature images of women tend to be individual unlike his earlier female subjects. Even so they lack intensity & appear as actors playing parts. Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May (1908), Soul of the Rose (1908), The Listener (1909)

It’s interesting that his relatively rare male figures are more sensual than his female ones. Was this the reason his figures are so loathe to express authentic emotion? Head of a Girl (c1905), Lamia (1905)& Apollo & Daphne (1908)

One of his most beautiful works is Boreas. It’s clear he had studied the draperies of Renaissance Venetian art. Boreas (1903), Echo & Narcissus (1903) & Study for Lamia (c1904-5)

Waterhouse was a gifted draughtsman as can be seen from the marvellous drawings that survive. Study for the Lady Clare (1900), The Flower Picker (1900), the Siren (c1900) & Windflowers (1902)

He later taught at St John’s Wood Art School. Mariana in the South (1897), Ariadne (1898), Awakening of Adonis (1899) & Destiny (1900). Unlike Simeon Solomon he did not explore his sexuality thru paint & his images seek beauty rather than truth.

We should probably think of Waterhouse’s art as mood music. Its point is it’s beauty - no more, no less. And it is ravishing. Ophelia (1894), The Lady of Shalott (1894) & Phyllis Waterlow (1895)
