Mexican artist and activist, Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderon was born July 6 1907. Stricken with polio at a young age, she wants to become a doctor, but her dream is shattered when a bus accident nearly takes her life. While recovering, Frida paints to express her physical and emotional pain, “I paint myself because I am often alone, and I am the subject I know best”. Her paintings are described as surrealist or magical realist. Of 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits and some are seen as controversial including, “The Suicide of Dorothy Hale” depicting the late actress taking her life. Frida married Mexican muralist Diego Rivera twice and was part of the Mexican Communist party. Her work remained relatively unknown until 1970, when it was discovered by political activists. While bedridden, she had one solo exhibition just a year before her death at age 47. Frida was a feminist icon who defied gender stereotypes. Her Impact is still felt today.
