Pain, Pleasure & Death: Finding Understanding in the Paintings of Frida Kahlo
Alan Bennett once wrote, βThe best moments in reading are when you come across something β a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things β which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.β I’d had that experience through books, poetry and words, but had been struggling deeply with an ineffable reality of constant pain.
