Edvard Munch, Edward Hopper or Frida Kahlo??? Desperate help needed!!

Guys I need a new related txt for Belonging and was thinking of doing an artwork as I don’t really have a graphic text atm. I can't really choose which one I want, and I need you to help me. Which one relates more to the concept of Belonging? Which one has the most things (techniques, themes, etc) to talk about? Essentially, which one is the better option. These are the artworks I have in mind:

Edvard Munch's 'The Dance of Life' - http://kafka.cn/tag/images/danceOfLife_3.jpg

Edward Hopper's 'Nighthawks' - http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/hopper/street/hopper.nighthawks.jpg

Frida Kahlo's 'My Dress Hangs There' - http://tothewire.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/fridakahlo-my-dress-hangs-there-1933.jpg

Frida Kahlo’s ‘Self-Portrait on the Border Line between Mexico and the United States’ - http://www.sai.msu.su/cjackson/kahlo/kahlo28.jpg

Thank you very much in advance guys! Don’t forget to give me your reasons as to your choice!

Kahlo's work obviously gives you a LOT more to talk about, because of all her symbolism etc. But you have to figure out what it all means and how it relates to Belonging.

Otherwise Hopper's is probably better than Munch's, which seems a bit simplistic (less to talk about).

But either way, the great thing with visual texts (paintings) is that you can memorise a few as options, and then choose in the exam, depending on the question.
