Kahlo's is less a sketchbook than an illustrated diary. She kept it through the last ten years of her life, much of that time in bed after the accident that shattered her spine.
Some pages burst with colour and figures. Others are almost entirely handwriting, sprawling right across the paper.
On one of them she sat testing her coloured pencils and wrote down what each one meant to her. Not the names, the meanings. Green, warm good light. Yellow, madness and sickness and fear, and also part of the sun and of joy. Blue, electricity and purity, and distance, and tenderness can be this blue too.
She wasn't making any of it for us. She was putting down what was in her, on whatever page came next.
And across the top of one spread, in her own handwriting, she titled it ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช ๐˜ฎ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ. My real world.
Your sketchbook is allowed to hold the words too. Some days that's the whole entry. ๐Ÿ–ค
