The seven-time Grammy winner Madonna owns a collection of works of art valued at about $ 100 million. She showed two of her five pictures of Frida Kahlo on Instagram on Sunday.
The 63-year-old queen of pop music sat next to a canvas that is a self-portrait of the late Mexican artist with her pet spider monkey.
However, Madonna, who boasts 45.6 million followers on social media, disappointed and shocked her fans with several photos of her suspiciously plump face looking in the mirror just above Frieda’s works. Her face is like a balloon, like a full moon. She probably resorted to plastic surgery because she just doesn’t look like herself.
Madge also showed a 1946 painting of Kahlo, The Wounded Deer, on the blue-green wall of her seven-bedroom mansion, worth $ 19.3 million.
It’s no secret that the singer once wanted to produce and play the role of the bisexual artist in the 1991 biographical film written by screenwriter Jeremy Pixer, but the project never materialized.
Salma Hayek eventually won by producing and starring Julie Taymore’s critically acclaimed 2002 biographical film Frieda, which generated $ 56.3 million at the World Boxing Office.
However, the Michigan-born Madonna managed to play Argentina’s first lady Eva Perón in Alan Parker’s 1996 musical Evita.
In 2014, Madame X refused to lend Frieda’s 1932 painting “My Birth,” depicting her miscarriage at the Detroit Institute of the Arts, after previously lending it to the Tate Gallery in London in 2005.
In a publication by Madonna on Sunday, she also showed off her copy of the 2017 poetry book Devotions, written by the late Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver.
The twice-divorced mother of six also wrote: “In my little corner, in my own little chair, I can be whatever I want to be. I dream of Morocco.”
