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 which the 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 as a youth. At 18, she was involved in a traumatic bus accident, suffering severe injuries that left her bedridden for several months.
During her slow recovery, she began painting from her bed, subsequently abandoning her academic studies. By 1927, she was able to leave her house again, joined the Mexican Communist Party, and through mutual friends, was introduced to the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.
