Description
I never painted dreams. I painted my reality. Frida Kahlo was eighteen years old when her body was crushed in a horrible bus accident. During her long, painful recovery, Kahlo taught herself to paint. Despite vast physical and emotional challenges, Kahlo lived her life with gusto. Her marriage to muralist Diego Rivera brought Kahlo into the public eye, but it is her own extraordinary talent that made her one of Mexico's most famous artists. Kahlo painted to escape from and to portray her troubles and her triumphs. Her life is revealed in her work, and both are fascinating, important, and inspiring.
