Biography<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who Was Frida Kahlo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Artist Frida Kahlo was considered one of Mexico’s greatest artists who began painting mostly self-portraits after she was severely injured in a bus accident. Kahlo later became politically active and married fellow communist artist Diego Rivera in 1929. She exhibited her paintings in Paris and Mexico before her death in 1954.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family, Education and Early Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo was born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calder\u00f3n on July 6, 1907, in Coyoac\u00e1n, Mexico City, Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo’s father, Wilhelm (also called Guillermo), was a German photographer who had immigrated to Mexico where he met and married her mother Matilde. She had two older sisters, Matilde and Adriana, and her younger sister, Cristina, was born the year after Kahlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the age of six, Kahlo contracted polio, which caused her to be bedridden for nine months. While she recovered from the illness, she limped when she walked because the disease had damaged her right leg and foot. Her father encouraged her to play soccer, go swimming, and even wrestle \u2014 highly unusual moves for a girl at the time \u2014 to help aid in her recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1922, Kahlo enrolled at the renowned National Preparatory School. She was one of the few female students to attend the school, and she became known for her jovial spirit and her love of colorful, traditional clothes and jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While at school, Kahlo hung out with a group of politically and intellectually like-minded students. Becoming more politically active, Kahlo joined the Young Communist League and the Mexican Communist Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frida Kahlo’s Accident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On September 17, 1925, Kahlo and Alejandro G\u00f3mez Arias, a school friend with whom she was romantically involved, were traveling together on a bus when the vehicle collided with a streetcar<\/a>. As a result of the collision, Kahlo was impaled by a steel handrail, which went into her hip and came out the other side. She suffered several serious injuries as a result, including fractures in her spine and pelvis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After staying at the Red Cross Hospital in Mexico City for several weeks, Kahlo returned home to recuperate further. She began painting during her recovery and finished her first self-portrait the following year, which she gave to G\u00f3mez Arias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frida Kahlo’s Marriage to Diego Rivera<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1929, Kahlo and famed Mexican muralist Diego Rivera<\/a> married. Kahlo and Rivera<\/a> first met in 1922 when he went to work on a project at her high school. Kahlo often watched as Rivera created a mural called The Creation<\/em> in the school\u2019s lecture hall. According to some reports, she told a friend that she would someday have Rivera\u2019s baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo reconnected with Rivera in 1928. He encouraged her artwork, and the two began a relationship. During their early years together, Kahlo often followed Rivera based on where the commissions that Rivera received were. In 1930, they lived in San Francisco, California. They then went to New York City for Rivera\u2019s show at the Museum of Modern Art and later moved to Detroit for Rivera\u2019s commission with the Detroit Institute of Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo and Rivera\u2019s time in New York City in 1933 was surrounded by controversy. Commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller<\/a>, Rivera created a mural entitled Man at the Crossroads <\/em>in the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center. Rockefeller halted the work on the project after Rivera included a portrait of communist leader Vladimir Lenin<\/a> in the mural, which was later painted over. Months after this incident, the couple returned to Mexico and went to live in San Angel, Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never a traditional union, Kahlo and Rivera kept separate, but adjoining homes and studios in San Angel. She was saddened by his many infidelities, including an affair with her sister Cristina. In response to this familial betrayal, Kahlo cut off most of her trademark long dark hair. Desperately wanting to have a child, she again experienced heartbreak when she miscarried in 1934.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo and Rivera went through periods of separation, but they joined together to help exiled Soviet communist Leon Trotsky<\/a> and his wife Natalia in 1937. The Trotskys came to stay with them at the Blue House (Kahlo’s childhood home) for a time in 1937 as Trotsky had received asylum in Mexico. Once a rival of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin<\/a>, Trotsky feared that he would be assassinated by his old nemesis. Kahlo and Trotsky reportedly had a brief affair during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo divorced Rivera in 1939. They did not stay divorced for long, remarrying in 1940. The couple continued to lead largely separate lives, both becoming involved with other people over the years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While she never considered herself a surrealist, Kahlo befriended one of the primary figures in that artistic and literary movement, Andre Breton, in 1938. That same year, she had a major exhibition at a New York City gallery, selling about half of the 25 paintings shown there. Kahlo also received two commissions, including one from famed magazine editor Clare Boothe Luce, as a result of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939, Kahlo went to live in Paris for a time. There she exhibited some of her paintings and developed friendships with such artists as Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo received a commission from the Mexican government for five portraits of important Mexican women in 1941, but she was unable to finish the project. She lost her beloved father that year and continued to suffer from chronic health problems. Despite her personal challenges, her work continued to grow in popularity and was included in numerous group shows around this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1953, Kahlo received her first solo exhibition in Mexico. While bedridden at the time, Kahlo did not miss out on the exhibition\u2019s opening. Arriving by ambulance, Kahlo spent the evening talking and celebrating with the event\u2019s attendees from the comfort of a four-poster bed set up in the gallery just for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Kahlo\u2019s death, the feminist movement of the 1970s led to renewed interest in her life and work, as Kahlo was viewed by many as an icon of female creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frida Kahlo’s Most Famous Paintings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many of Kahlo\u2019s works were self-portraits. A few of her most notable paintings include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Frieda and Diego Rivera’ (1931)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo showed this painting at the Sixth Annual Exhibition of the San Francisco Society of Women Artists, the city where she was living with Rivera at the time. In the work, painted two years after the couple married, Kahlo lightly holds Rivera\u2019s hand as he grasps a palette and paintbrushes with the other \u2014 a stiffly formal pose hinting at the couple\u2019s future tumultuous relationship. The work now lives at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Henry Ford Hospital’ (1932)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1932, Kahlo incorporated graphic and surrealistic elements in her work. In this painting, a naked Kahlo appears on a hospital bed with several items \u2014 a fetus, a snail, a flower, a pelvis and others \u2014 floating around her and connected to her by red, veinlike strings. As with her earlier self-portraits, the work was deeply personal, telling the story of her second miscarriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘The Suicide of Dorothy Hale’ (1939)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo was asked to paint a portrait of Luce and Kahlo’s mutual friend, actress Dorothy Hale, who had committed suicide earlier that year by jumping from a high-rise building. The painting was intended as a gift for Hale’s grieving mother. Rather than a traditional portrait, however, Kahlo painted the story of Hale’s tragic leap. While the work has been heralded by critics, its patron was horrified at the finished painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘The Two Fridas’ (1939)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of Kahlo\u2019s most famous works, the painting shows two versions of the artist sitting side by side, with both of their hearts exposed. One Frida is dressed nearly all in white and has a damaged heart and spots of blood on her clothing. The other wears bold colored clothing and has an intact heart. These figures are believed to represent \u201cunloved\u201d and \u201cloved\u201d versions of Kahlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘The Broken Column’ (1944)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo shared her physical challenges through her art again with this painting, which depicted a nearly nude Kahlo split down the middle, revealing her spine as a shattered decorative column. She also wears a surgical brace and her skin is studded with tacks or nails. Around this time, Kahlo had several surgeries and wore special corsets to try to fix her back. She would continue to seek a variety of treatments for her chronic physical pain with little success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frida Kahlo\u2019s Death<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About a week after her 47th birthday, Kahlo died on July 13, 1954, at her beloved Blue House. There has been some speculation regarding the nature of her death. It was reported to be caused by a pulmonary embolism, but there have also been stories about a possible suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo\u2019s health issues became nearly all-consuming in 1950. After being diagnosed with gangrene in her right foot, Kahlo spent nine months in the hospital and had several operations during this time. She continued to paint and support political causes despite having limited mobility. In 1953, part of Kahlo\u2019s right leg was amputated to stop the spread of gangrene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deeply depressed, Kahlo was hospitalized again in April 1954 because of poor health, or, as some reports indicated, a suicide attempt. She returned to the hospital two months later with bronchial pneumonia. No matter her physical condition, Kahlo did not let that stand in the way of her political activism. Her final public appearance was a demonstration against the U.S.-backed overthrow of President Jacobo Arbenz of Guatemala on July 2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movie on Frida Kahlo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kahlo\u2019s life was the subject of a 2002 film entitled Frida<\/a><\/em>, starring Salma Hayek<\/a> as the artist and Alfred Molina as Rivera. Directed by Julie Taymor, the film was nominated for six Academy Awards and won for Best Makeup and Original Score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frida Kahlo Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The family home where Kahlo was born and grew up, later referred to as the Blue House or Casa Azul, was opened as a museum in 1958. Located in Coyoac\u00e1n, Mexico City, the Museo Frida Kahlo houses artifacts from the artist along with important works including Viva la Vida<\/em> (1954), Frida and Caesarean<\/em> (1931) and Portrait of my father Wilhelm Kahlo<\/em> (1952).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book on Frida Kahlo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hayden Herrera\u2019s 1983 book on Kahlo, Frida: A Biography of<\/em> Frida Kahlo<\/em>, helped to stir up interest in the artist. The biographical work covers Kahlo\u2019s childhood, accident, artistic career, marriage to Diego Rivera, association with the communist party and love affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
