What are the motifs in The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-portrait by Frida Kahlo?

From the title page of the diary, Kahlo displays a certain playfulness. She is not above humorous incongruities, puns, and a sense of silliness. Her title page indicates the diary was "Painted in 1916," which is obviously false, and it shows a photograph of Kahlo looking like she is dead surrounded by funerary-type wreaths. Kahlo nverts expectations and instead of an introduction as a new beginning, this one has a mock ending and a pseudo-memorial.
