The Mexican artist Frida
Kahlo (1907-1954) is now regarded as one of the most significant artists of
the twentieth century
From 1926 until her death, the Mexican
painter Frida Kahlo created striking, often shocking, images that reflected her
turbulent life. Kahlo was one of four daughters born to a Hungarian-Jewish
father and a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent, in the Mexico City suburb of
Coyoacán.
She did not originally plan to become an
artist. A polio survivor, at 15 Kahlo entered the premedical program at the National Preparatory School
in Mexico City.
However, this training ended three years later when Kahlo was gravely hurt in a
bus accident. She spent over a year in bed, recovering from fractures of her
back, collarbone, and ribs, as well as a shattered pelvis and shoulder and foot
injuries. Despite more than 30 subsequent operations, Kahlo spent the rest of her
life in constant pain, finally succumbing to related complications at age 47.
During her convalescence Kahlo had begun to
paint with oils. Her pictures, mostly self-portraits and still lifes, were
deliberately naive, filled with the bright colors and flattened forms of the
Mexican folk art she loved. At 21, Kahlo fell in love with the Mexican muralist
Diego Rivera, whose approach to art and politics suited her own. Although he
was 20 years her senior, they were married in 1929; this stormy, passionate relationship
survived infidelities, the pressures of Rivera's career, a divorce and
remarriage, and Kahlo's poor health. The couple traveled to the United States and France,
where Kahlo met luminaries from the worlds of art and politics; she had her
first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York City in 1938. Kahlo enjoyed
considerable success during the 1940s, but her reputation soared posthumously,
beginning in the 1980s with the publication of numerous books about her work by
feminist art historians and others. In the last two decades an explosion of
Kahlo-inspired films, plays, calendars, and jewelry has transformed the artist
into a veritable cult figure.
