Frida Kahlo Fulang-Chang and I 1937 (assembled after 1939)

  • Not on view

Kahlo had a few spider monkeys that she kept as pets. She named the one in the painting Fulang-Chang. The artist might have painted the pink ribbon connecting them to show how close she felt to her monkey. What animal would you want to show in a painting? How would you show how you feel about that animal?
