Frida Kahlos painting a “On the Borderline between Mexico and the United States” describes Fridas melanchonly for her land. At the time she came with her husband Diego Rivera, to present his artwork in the big cities. Frida paints her longing for the things that represents her home, like nature, the history and traditions. On the other side frida paints the United States coldy and gray, as if detesting the industry, modernity, and the new ideas. Although a painting of distinctions, it can be represented as a painting of balance accepting the old, nature and traditions, while being open to industry, technology and modern ideas. In a sense this should be the way the American Dream works, the opportunity to aspire for the new but the humbleness to accept things as they are.
