About the artist:
Frida Kahlo (Mexico, 1907 – 1954) was a famous 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 a Mexican mother, she studied philosophy and medicine in her youth. At 18, she was involved in a traumatic bus accident, sustaining severe injuries and being 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 through mutual friends, met Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.
