Kahlo painted Self-Portrait with Monkeys in 1943, four spider monkeys gathered close around her against a dense wall of leaf and bloom. She kept spider monkeys at the Casa Azul in Coyoacán and painted them throughout her work.
Here the composition has been carried onto a round rattan top, the image laid down by hand, worked into with paint, and finished under a deep glaze that has softened with age. Decoupage of this kind traces back to eighteenth-century Venice, where cabinetmakers built printed imagery and hand-painted detail under many layers of varnish into furniture of real standing. It is a craft of assembly and finishing as much as of the brush.
It was bought new from the artist at a gallery on Abbot Kinney and stayed with that owner until it came to us.
