Self Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird by Frida Kahlo, 1940. Surrealist artist Kahlo frequently used symbolism in her works, especially in her self portraits as a way of expressing her personality: the thorns that prick her neck show the pain she feels in her life and marriage; the butterflies at the top of her head represent resurrection; the dead hummingbird is a Mexican charm that it supposed to make one lucky in love; the monkey is a symbol of lust and temptation and the black cat symbolises bad luck.
