Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico. She was an artist who painted many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Frida Kahlo attended the renowned National Preparatory School in Mexico City in 1922. There were only thirty-five female students enrolled in that school and she soon became famous for her outspokenness and bravery. On September 17, 1925, Kahlo and a school friend were traveling together on a bus when the vehicle collided with a streetcar. As a result of the collision, Kahlo was impaled by a steel handrail. She suffered several serious injuries as a result, including fractures in her spine and pelvis. She had to wear full body cast for three months. To kill the time and alleviate the pain, she started painting and finished her first first self-portrait the following year. Frida Kahlo once said, "I paint myself because I am often alone and I am the subject I know best". In 1929 Kahlo married the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. They shared political views, and he encouraged her artistic endeavors. In 1938 she had a major exhibition at a New York City gallery. 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. Drawing on personal experiences, including her marriage, her miscarriages, and her numerous operations, Kahlo's works often are characterized by their stark portrayals of pain. Of her 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits which often incorporate symbolic portrayals of physical and psychological wounds. In 1953, Kahlo received her first solo exhibition in Mexico. About a week after her 47th birthday, Kahlo died on July 13, 1954. Frida Kahlo's fame has been growing after her death. Her Blue House was opened as a museum in the year of 1958. The interest on her work and life are renewed due to the feminist movement, since she was viewed as an icon of female creativity. #wcw #herstory
