FRIDA KAHLO'S BIOGRAPHY




FRIDA KAHLO (MAGDALENA CARMEN FRIDAKAHLO CALDERÓN) was born on July 6, 1907 in Mexico City, in the house that had been owned by her parents since 1904, and is known today as the Blue House. Daughter of Wilhelm (Guillermo) Kahlo, of German descent, and of the Mexican Matilde Calderón, Frida was the third of four daughters of this marriage. Matilde and Adriana were the oldest and Cristina, the youngest.

At the age of six Frida fell ill with poliomyelitis, causing her right leg to be shorter; this was a source of ridicule. However, this did not stop her from being a restless and tenacious student. He studied at the National Preparatory School.
At age 18, on September 17, 1925, Frida had a tragic accident. The bus he was traveling in was hit by a tram. The consequences for her were serious: fractures of several bones and injuries to the spine. Due to the immobility to which she was subjected for several months, Frida began to paint. Thus, he interacts with several artists, among them the photographer Tina Modotti and the then well-known artist Diego Rivera.
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter, recognized for her famous self-portraits, described as part of the surrealist movement. The painter, who said she did not identify with the movement, created her own style by taking aspects of her life, mixing them with elements of nature and Mexican identity.
Frida's first paintings were portraits of her friends and neighbors from Coyoacán or from the National Preparatory School. Among these is the Portrait of Alicia Galant, on the reverse of which he wrote the following caption: My first work of art, Frida Kahlo, 1927
