Celestial Eyes | Francis Cugat | 1925 19th Century and Kahlo's struggle with her

and Kahlo's struggle with her identity and broken body

The artist's use of light and shadow accentuates the wrinkles on Democritus's face and the texture of the skull

Emerging from deep shadow

providing a sense of life and activity amidst the quietude of night

It depicts a group of witches caught in a tempestuous moment

Celestial Eyes | Francis Cugat | 1925 19th Century and Kahlo's struggle with herCelestial Eyes (1925) by Francis Cugat presents a dreamlike vision in which a mysterious, veiled face hovers above a dazzling nocturnal cityscape. The figure's luminous, watchful eyes and vivid crimson lips contrast against deep blue tones, creating an atmosphere of mystery and quiet contemplation. Blending elements of Surrealism and Art Deco, Cugat transforms the modern city into a poetic, almost celestial landscape filled with symbolism and wonder.
