Frida Kahlo’s "Fulang-Chang and I" (1937). Fulang-Chang was one of several spider monkeys that Frida kept as pets. The pet monkeys that frequently appear in her paintings are often interpreted as surrogates for the children she and her husband, the artist Diego Rivera, were unable to conceive. This postcard came from Nina, who always knows what card will make me happy. Thank you!
