Henry Ford Hospital Analysis

Frida Kahlo’s biography begins on July 6, 1907 when she was born in the city of Coyocoan, Mexico City. Kahlo has become famous for paintings that show the suffering of bodily injury, which were related to a busing accident that injured her hips and spine. After this debilitating incident, Kahlo met the famous muralist, Diego Rivera, and they were married. Kahlo’s fame as an artist was partially inspired by this marriage, which allowed her to paint images that related to her own experience as a disabled and psychologically depressed individual. In many cases, many of these images, such as the "Self Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird" (1940), began to show the various aspects of womanhood that she expressed through her own feminist ideals.

Frida Kahlo was best known for her reflective self-portraits that defined the tragedies she'd endured. Explaining her affection for the style, Kahlo said, "I paint myself because I am so often alone, because I am the subject I know best.” Kahlo contracted Polio at the age of six which left her with a deformed foot, she was also Bed-bound while recovering from a grisly streetcar accident. Kahlo under went over 30 operations throughout her life; and over the years she painted a portrait of herself whenever she was troubled.

Kahlo carefully considers all elements of her work, including the colours used. This is evident in her choice of symbols to convey a very intricate meaning. In this particular painting the natural elements are heavily integrated into the composition; surrounding Kahlo are vines linking her to nature itself. Kahlo was unable to bear children and her link here to nature, especially with the presence of so many monkeys (a traditional symbol of fertility), may represent her desire to be a part of this aspect of nature. Fertility has a huge presence in this painting as the flower, the white of her shirt, and the lush green vines all symbolise health, fertility and purity, none of which Kahlo herself possessed. Through her symbolism Kahlo created meaning and added emphasis on particular aspects of her life. Critics have likened her tendency to do this to a method of self-creation rather than self-expression. She places herself within a scenario she wishes to be in or a person she recreates herself as, in this painting for example, she would be using her engulfment in fertility symbols as a way of showing herself as fertile. Either way, the painting speaks very strongly of Kahlo's link to motherhood, through the local, Mexican symbols.

The viewer can see and feel the bond between the mother and the child. I also think the artwork is beautiful and makes a deep impression on the viewer, because of the innocence and peaceful appearance of the infant. The woman has such an intense gaze with the way she is looking at the infant; it gives each viewer an opportunity to interpret it in their own way, concern or admiration, all part of motherhood. The woman’s body language is intriguing because she is replicating the infant’s arm position, maybe to find her own peace. In my search, I discovered that Berthe Morisot was a famous female artist in the 19th century, and in making a choice, this piece of art quickly caught my

Frida Kahlo, she never intended to become a painter. Kahlo was aspired to become a doctor as a young woman, but after a horrible accident at the age of 18, it left her mentally, as well as physically scared for life. This event had totally changed her life forever. The theme in almost all of Frida’s painting was her own life. Her paintings were based on events took place during her lifetime. As we can see in many of Frida’s paintings, especially in her self-portraits, it expresses her own personal emotions along with feelings about an event that happened in her life, such as her physical condition, her lack of ability to conceive children of her own, her ideology of life and nature, and most important of all, it was her unstable relationship with her husband Diego. Somewhere between the movement of surrealism, realism and symbolism in the art of Frida Kahlo, she was able to bring out tenderness, femininity, reality, cruelty and suffering within her paintings.

In Frida Kahlo’s painting, A Few Small Nips, a woman lies mostly naked on white sheets. She has on one high-heeled shoe, and a rumpled sock. She has been sliced and poked by the knife that the man standing above her is holding. The sheets are covered in blood, her body is covered in blood, and the floor is covered in the blood. The woman is clearly dead, and the man standing above her is relaxed, pleased, with his left hand resting comfortably in his pocket. The expression on the man’s

The painting by Frans Hals symbolizes the wealth of which the baby comes from and the prosperous pride of fertility. It portrays the lifestyle and the type of emotion people had when families arose. With the use of tenebrism the artist uses heavy darkness and shadow to illuminate the focus

The painting portrays Two Fridas self-portraits of two different personalities, this was painted after her divorce from her husband Diego Rivera as she deeply loved her him but was betrayed. The artwork is one of Kahlo’s biggest artwork, which is subjected with double self-portrait of Two Fridas, with the size of 173.5 x 173 cm. The main objects in the artwork that catches it’s viewers eyes are the double self-portrait of Frida with the Tehuana (Mexican) and the European dress. The self- portrait and the two hearts on each self-portrait of Kahlo are

The trend for health care and hospitals is a movement towards a larger outpatient system of care while lowering the number of inpatient admissions. The health care system has made small changes towards this type of service for about a decade. Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital should continue these efforts and implement the use of the Patient-centered medical home model. This model concentrates on patient care with a comprehensive, total patient care strategy, while lowering the incidence of emergency room use and lowering the number of times a patient is admitted to the hospital (Robeznieks, 2015). The health care team will evaluate the patient, monitor their condition while educating them about their specific needs and how to provide their own self-care at home.

Another damaging event in her life was the trolley accident. When she was nineteen, Frida Kahlo and her friend, Alejandro Gomez Arias, were injured in a almost fatal accident when a trolley crashed into the bus that Frida and Alejandro were on (Barnet-Sanchez). It appears that Frida was impaled by a metal handrail through her pelvis. Due to this accident, she sustained multiple fractures of the back, right leg, pelvis, and right foot. She was put in a whole body cast for a long period of time, and it is said that many of the doctors did not believe that should would live or walk again. The movie accurately displays an expression of hopelessness and isolation when it captures the moments that Kahlo was bed-ridden for days recovering and how the actress looked when a medical assistant had to help her bathe herself. During her recovery, Frida began to paint. Her parents made her a special easel, so she could paint laying down (Barnet-Sanchez). Frida Kahlo was also unable to bear a child after the accident, this left her to feel like she was less than a woman and depicted herself in her paintings with enhanced masculine features. This was a mentally and psychically scarring event that impacted how she perceived the world and this was translated in her paintings. The painting “The Bus” was Kahlo’s interpretation of the moments before her life drastically changed (Nelson). Scholars that have studied

"Popular Mechanics" didn't fail on leaving the reader wanting more. The final line states ‘In this manner, the issue was decided.’ A passive sentence that conveys the reader into wanting more. Their could have been multiple incidents that have could occured. The baby’s arm has been broken or more sinister, also implying that neither the man or woman will succedd in getting the child.

Since Frida spent most of her time in hospital beds, she used that time to create paintings that documented the major events in her life. In 1937, Kahlo created My Nurse and I, in this painting, a nurse with a mask covering her face has in arms a baby with an adult face of Frida. The backstory of this painting is that Frida’s mother due to complications couldn’t breastfeed her. Her family hired a nurse to breastfeed her. This eventually affected their relationship because she never felt a bond with her mother. There are no connections between her and the wet nurse, you can tell the distance between them, there is no love in this painting. It implies Frida’s feelings of loss and separation form her own mother. In 1940, Frida painted Self Portrait with Thorn

Stanford University Hospital is one of the most innovative hospitals on the West Coast. It is run by a progressive University dedicated to reinvestment in healthcare strategies and improving technological foundations within its leading position in the healthcare industry. Currently, it is being driven by goals to improve patient satisfaction and clinical productivity.

The painting is of two versions of Frida Kahlo, closely gripping hands and sharing one heart between them. They are dressed in contrary clothing, with the Frida on the left dressed in modern European garb, while the other to the right is in traditional Mexican clothing. When viewing the painting, we are immediately attracted to the left Frida, who has nearly all of the light in the painting shining down on her. Her European clothing, popular in Mexico at the time, feels very constricting for both the subject and the viewer,specifically the collar grasping her neck so very tightly. Her upright and fragile stance and her almost limp grasp of the second Frida’s is understandable as we see the gaping hole where her heart should be. The pulsating anatomy of her wound bleeds into the room, while her face is completely indifferent. A single vein connects the hole in left Frida to the heart of right Frida. In left Frida’s unclenched hand, a delicate pair of scissors, indicating that she had wretched the heart out of her own bosom. It is this connection that guides us to the Frida to the right, but not before we notice the background behind them. A gray and cloudy backdrop that seems to embody Kahlo’s emotional state at the time, it is hard to distinguish the right Frida from its murky depths. A shadow presiding all around her, the right Frida is dressed in a traditional Mexican dress, with a posture and facial expression completely identical to the other Frida’s. The most eye-catching feature of hers, however, is the pulsating heart that the left Frida is lacking beating out of her chest. This gruesome and oblivious picture is made only more extraordinary when we make out the object right Frida is

Her mother was a devout Catholic and passed these strong values down to her daughter, Frida. This can be seen through the crown of thorns around her neck rather than her head, showing herself as a Christian Martyr. The subtle blood that is trickling down her neck may represent that of her ongoing pain through her divorce. The contrasting butterflies on her headdress and bright background of leaves are suggestive of resurrection. Over the left-hand side, a monkey can be seen distracted playing with its hands. It was also a gift from Diego and a symbol of the devil she feels he is. As seen on her left-hand side a Black Cat can be noticed staring down the Hummingbird. Perhaps it is ready to feast on the good as it is a symbol of bad luck. She had experienced great trauma and pain in her life and this could be seen as the bad luck symbolised through the cat. To leave a blank background would be unlike Kahlo; the bright and varied shades of greens and yellows seem to show a wall of uncontrolled nature, possibly expressing her feelings at the time. Looking to the upper half of the painting Dragonflies and Butterflies fly around her hair that is intertwined with cloth, delineating a figure eight like crown filled with purples and maroon. We see the life filled Dragonflies and Butterflies
