About the Author:
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 created 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, Kahlo studied philosophy and medicine as a youth. At 18, she was involved in a traumatic bus accident that left her severely injured and bedridden for several months.
During her slow recovery, she began to paint from her bed and subsequently abandoned her academic studies. In 1927, she was able to leave her home again, joined the Mexican Communist Party, and met the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera through mutual friends.
