About the artist:
Frida Kahlo (Mexico, 1907 – 1954) was a celebrated Mexican painter known for her complex self-portraits. Inspired by Pre-Columbian artifacts and Mexican folk art, Kahlo produced bizarre yet beautiful works that surrealist André Breton once described as “a ribbon around a bomb.”
Born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo Calderón on July 6, 1907, in Mexico City, Mexico, to a German father and Mexican mother, she studied philosophy and medicine in her youth. At age 18, she was involved in a traumatic bus accident, suffering severe injuries and remaining bedridden for several months.
During her slow recovery, she began to paint from her bed, consequently abandoning her academic pursuits. By 1927, she was able to leave her home again, joining the Mexican Communist Party and meeting the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera through mutual friends.
