Ocho días antes de morir, Frida Kahlo cogió sus pinceles por última vez y escribió sobre la pulpa roja de la sandía: «Viva la vida. Coyoacán, 1954». Pocos meses antes, le habían amputado la pierna derecha y notaba, ahora sí, cómo sus fuerzas desaparecían para siempre, cómo la vida se alejaba de ella. Esta última naturaleza muerta no era casual, era su adiós definitivo, colorido y optimista, como era ella, a pesar de los reveses que la vida le había ido dando hasta entonces.

Das kleine Mädchen Marina lügt gern und mit poetischer Hingabe. Ein Akt rebellischer Selbstbehauptung gegenüber einer Welt, in der es die strengen Regeln der Mutter gibt, um deren Liebe sie ringt, aber auch den glutäugigen Vater, der erst mittags aufsteht und sich an keinerlei Regeln zu halten scheint. Einer Welt, in der sie getauft und trotzdem jüdisch sein soll - wie ihr russischer Großvater, den die Mutter verachtet.
