Frida Kahlo’s life in brief

Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in the house of her parents, known as La Casa Azul (The Blue House), in Coyoacan.
Her life was filled with pain and suffering, but she bravely endured all the trials. She contracted polio at the age of five and suffered life-threatening injuries in a car accident at the age of 18. Bedridden Frida started painting.
She began to draw the one she knows best — herself.
Provocative, sensual, weird.
All this describes the paintings of Frida Kahlo. Her paintings have surprised the world and revolutionized painting.
Her style has been described as naive style or folk art. Contemporaries often called her the female alter-ego of Salvador Dali.
She was able to show the world that part of a woman’s life that was always bashfully hidden from prying eyes.
By painting herself, she showed the life of others. In the paintings, she was presented in the images of people whose story she wanted to tell.
In her personal life, not all was well either. Her husband, Diego Rivera, was also an artist, 20 years older than her, 20 kg more than her. About her relationship, Frida said: “In my life there were two accidents: one — when the bus crashed into a tram, the other is Diego.”
For me, reading her biography, it was amazing to learn that she was a follower of Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky. She also has an unfinished portrait of Stalin, and Trotsky was a frequent visitor to her family.
Frida died in 1954 of pneumonia. By this time, in her country, she had already become a national symbol, a legend.
