My Nurse and I or Me Suckling
1937
Oil on metal panel
305 x 347 mm
Museo Dolores Olmedo Patino Mexico (Mexico City, Mexico)
This painting has the implication for Frida's feeling of loss and separation from her own mom. She never felt bonded with her mom and in this painting there are no connections between her and the wet nurse. The nurse seems just feeding Frida and displays her like a sacrificial offering.
''I am in my nurse's arms, with the face of a grownup woman and the body of a little girl, while milk falls from her nipples as if from the heavens."Frida Kahlo
