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, she studied philosophy and medicine in her 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 painting from her bed, subsequently abandoning her academic pursuits. By 1927, she was able to leave her home again, joined the Mexican Communist Party, and through mutual friends, she met Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.
