Who Was Frida Kahlo?

About Who Was Frida Kahlo?

A young girl who dreamed of becoming a doctor
A woman who loved the beauty of her native Mexico
One of the most famous female artists of all time

You can always recognize a painting by Kahlo because she is in nearly all–with her black braided hair and colorful Mexican outfits. A brave woman who was an invalid most of her life, she transformed herself into a living work of art. As famous for her self-portraits and haunting imagery as she was for her marriage to another famous artist, Diego Rivera, this strong and courageous painter was inspired by the ancient culture and history of her beloved homeland, Mexico. Her paintings continue to inform and inspire popular culture around the world.
