She was married to the Mexican Muralist Diego Rivera for 20 years. Their stormy , passionate relationship survived infedelities, the pressures of careers, divorce, remarriage, Frida's bisexual affairs, her poor health and her inability to have children.
On this painting Frida reveals what could had been a truth about her life, the truth of been a bisexual person, though she was married. The painting shows two Fridas sitting on what seems to be a stool, holding eachother's hand, and their heart connected with an artery (that's what I see). I think she expressed her bisexuality on this painting, although back in that time when Frida painted it, it was'nt that common to show one's bisexuality specially in a country of "machistas" or machos. I think she was very brave of doing it.
