The flat texture of the work in the style of primitivism reveals two images of the artist, both of whom are holding hands, both of which have similar facial expressions including Kahlo's signature unibrow and bun yet are dressed entirely differently, in a different color palate. One of the Fridas wears a white gown with a high neck.

The dress has the appearance of a highly conventional, almost Victorian traditional style of garb. The other Frida has a similarly impassive look upon her face and wears earthy, peasant clothing.

Yet there is an immediate shock upon viewing the painting -- the more conventional Frida holds a pair of surgical tools, and the skin above her heart is cut out. Tendons link the exposed heart connected to the heart of the other Frida. The work is striking symbolic, even on a first glance The painting was painted by Kahlo in soon after the divorce from her husband, her fellow Mexican painter Diego Rivera.

The Two Fridas is believed to be an expression of Frida's feelings at the time. The painting indicates Frida's sense of being torn, and feeling like two women, one emotionally destroyed, one a survivor.

The conventionally dressed Frida in bridal white has her heart ripped out and bleeding. The heart of the peasant Frida, which may represent her connection to her heritage, still remains whole. This Frida has its heart exposed, but the heart is not bleeding.

It represents Frida's sense of self and integrity that has not been harmed by the break-up with Rivera. The peasant-woman lives on, the woman with more conventional ideas about love and matrimony bleeds.
