Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was a Mexican painter often associated with the European Surrealists as well as with her husband, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. She was noted for her intense autobiographical paintings. Kahlo's work was intimate, personal, and in the tradition of easel painting. She painted the events of her life with symbolic elements and situations, creating a dreamlike reality, frighteningly real but fantastic and magical. Injured in a bus accident at the age of 18, Kahlo was disabled for life. After numerous operations to correct her spinal and internal injuries, she eventually became an invalid prior to her death at the age of 47.
