Painting Portraits

Thinking of Death

Kahlo's repertoire of self-portraits provides a large selection of extraordinary and striking visuals. Her standout "Thinking of Death" (1943) in particular lends itself to make-up recreation with its deep contrasts; marked shadows/contours; a tantalising, circular artwork; and a lush background to lose oneself in.
