An artist that most of us should be familiar with is Frida Kahlo; her art has become world renowned. The story of Kahlo's life and her unique style within her works has been an inspiration for artist's around the globe and a source of interest to art aficionados everywhere. What makes her paintings even more interesting is how they resist interpretation across many levels. In spite of the charged imagery throughout most of her paintings coupled with intense visuals which could send the imagination spiraling, it is nonetheless difficult to pull apart her paintings in order to find a meaning that is readily available to all. Due to the tragedy and pain of her life that she continually expressed throughout her work as well as her own explanations of her works, it is slightly obvious as to what her works mean. She left no room for estranged meaning. Her art can only be understood within the context of her life and legacy. When one makes the effort to find the source of her work and the misfortune that she suffered her works make sense. This demonstrates that in many cases it is possible that art is composed of only a very specific, certain meaning. This meaning is completely dependent upon the artist. When the meaning is dependent upon the artist than it becomes futile to attempt to interpret anything at all.
