Frida Kahlo 🎨
Passionate, Bold & Vibrant
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her self-portraits, pain
and passion, and bold, vibrant colors. She is celebrated in Mexico for
her attention to Mexican and indigenous culture and by feminists for her
depiction of the female experience and form.
Kahlo, who suffered from polio as a child, nearly died in a bus accident
as a teenager. She suffered multiple fractures of her spine, collarbone
and ribs, a shattered pelvis, broken foot and a dislocated shoulder. She
began to focus heavily on painting while recovering in a body cast. In
her lifetime, she had 30 operations.
