Summary

This quote, possibly by Frida Kahlo, explains the artist's motivation for creating self-portraits. It suggests that due to the artist's frequent solitude and deep self-awareness, they are drawn to painting their own image. By depicting themselves, they express a profound level of intimacy and understanding, as they are the person they know most intimately. Painting self-portraits thus becomes a means for the artist to explore and communicate their own identity, thoughts, and emotions, while also reflecting their experiences of being alone.

America -- rather, the United States -- seems to me to be the Jew among the nations. It is resourceful, adaptable, maligned, envied, feared, imposed upon. It is warm-hearted, over-friendly; quick-witted, lavish, colorful; given to extravagant speech and gestures; its people are travelers and wanderers by nature, moving, shifting, restless; swarming in Fords, in ocean liners; craving entertainment; volatile. The chuckle among the nations of the world.
