'Not Fragile Like A Flower, Fragile Like A Bomb!'

Acrylic on 24" x 24" Canvas

Artist Carolyn Wolf

​

'Not Fragile Like A Flower, Fragile Like A Bomb!' is a powerful tribute to the iconic artist Frida Kahlo, part of the Black Lipstick Army series. Frida’s life exemplifies the resilience and strength that define this collection. Despite enduring immense pain and tragedy—surviving a near-fatal bus accident, battling severe health issues, and experiencing heartbreak and loss—Frida never wavered. Her art became an outlet for her struggles, but it also reflected her unyielding spirit. Passing at the age of 47, Frida’s legacy reminds us of the ability to persevere, no matter the trials we face.

Frida was chosen for this series because her life is a testament to the strength through adversity that the Black Lipstick Army represents. Like the women in this series, she was unapologetically herself—fierce, strong, and defiant.
