MAGDALENA CARMEN FRIDA KAHLO

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón,

was born in Coyoacán, Mexico City in July 6,
1907, this year in Mexico Start of the strike of
textile workers in Río Blanco, Veracruz.
At the age of six, she contracted polio, which
left her with a lifelong limp and a source of
pain and insecurity. Despite this, Frida's
strong will and determination were evident
even in her youth.

At the age of 18, Frida's life took a dramatic

turn. On September 17, 1925, a devastating bus accident left her with severe
injuries. She suffered multiple fractures, spinal damage, and a pierced abdomen.
The accident left her bedridden for months, during which she turned to painting as
a means of self-expression and therapy. This marked the beginning of her artistic
journey.

Frida's art became an outlet for her physical and emotional pain. Her self-portraits,
often characterized by their raw honesty and vivid colors, offered a window into her
inner world. She once said, "I paint myself because I am so often alone, and
because I am the subject I know best." Her art was a medium through which she
could confront her suffering and her identity as a disabled woman.

Was marriage marked by infidelity on both sides, but it was also a source of
inspiration for their work Frida and Diego's home, La Casa Azul (The Blue House),
in Coyoacán.

Frida was an active supporter of the Mexican Revolution and later embraced
communist ideologies. Her paintings often incorporated elements of Mexican
folklore and symbolism, making her a symbol of Mexican identity.

Frida Kahlo's life was cut short on July 13, 1954, at the age of 47, but her legacy
lives on. Her art continues to inspire generations of artists and feminists worldwide.
