A Self-Portrait from 1940

Photographer Nickolas Muray bought it from her during a hard financial time. It joined the Ransom Center collection in 1966.

Thorns, Leaves, and Companions

The title names a thorn necklace with a hummingbird hanging from it. Dark animals sit behind her shoulders, and tropical leaves fill the background.

Her imagery speaks of pain, death, and rebirth. Wear these round portrait earrings as a salute to a Mexican artist who painted her own story.
