Frida Kahlo Self-Portrait: Coatlicue at the Opera?
Coatlicue, the Aztec mother of gods, is a powerful symbol in Kahlo’s self-portraits. And Kahlo at the opera? "It was the entrance of an Aztec goddess, perhaps Coatlicue, the mother deity wrapped in her skirt of serpents, exhibiting her own lacerated, bloody hands the way other women sport a brooch." - Carlos Fuentes
