FRIDA KAHLO (1907-1954)
Mexican Painter

Kahlo was one of four daughters born to a Hungarian-Jewish father and a Spanish and Mexican Indian mother. After surviving polio, Kahlo entered a premedical school at the age of fifteen. However, her plans of working in the medical field ended three years later after becoming seriously injured in a bus accident three years. Kahlo suffered from injuries in her back, collarbone, ribs, pelvis, shoulder, and feet, which resulted in spending over a year in bed and over 30 operations. Kahlo suffered from the pain for the remainder of her life and died from complications when she was 47 years old.
Frida started her painting career with oils. Her paintings consisted of mostly self-portraits and still lifes and were filled with bright colors and flattened forms of the Mexican folk art that she loved.
