Sumario:Through the portrayal of the geneticist and biologist Luther Burbank (1931), Frida Kahlo’s fear of death fades away in a regenerative panvitalism. While some critics saw in the painting one of the first occurrences of surrealism in the Americas, the artist herself denied it, appealing to her own reality. A reality that she composes among ancient texts, codex and archeological studies which shows a vision nurtured on Maya culture in which the tree of life, for the well-being of society, takes roots in the sacrifice of the human being.
