Louisiana Museum og Modern Art: "Diego Rivera had been invited to Detroit to paint large-format frescoes portraying the industrial manufacturing process at the Ford Motor Company. Kahlo accompanied him, and in this early major work she describes the contrast between the countries, while standing om a pedestal in an elegant dress, a small Mexican flag and a cigarette in her hands. She has turned her head to the indigenous, nature-loving, lively Mexican side; she is quite obviously not interested in the technical American side. The generators on the American side are nonetheless supplied with energy by the roots of the Mexican plants, which in turn is delivered to the pedestal and thus to Frida Kahlo herself. The moon represents the female principle, the sun the male."
