Talk with Frida Kahlo
1907–1954
Painter
Kahlo grew up in Coyoacán, Mexico City, and began painting while recovering from a bus accident that left her with lifelong injuries. Her self-portraits draw on Mexican folk art and Indigenous culture and deal openly with pain, identity, and the body. She married the muralist Diego Rivera twice, and her home, the Casa Azul, is now a museum.
