Frida and the Cesarean is an unfinished artwork that includes many of the themes that obsessed the painter, such as maternity, which was something she couldn't accomplish in her life. This work was created after her first abortion, after three months of pregnancy. Painting for Frida was like a physical and allegorical release of her sick condition and her constant passing by hospitals. She could transform pain into expression, as it is clear in this unfinished painting.
