Frida Kahlo de Rivera (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) was a
Mexican painter best known for her self-portraits of "pain and passion",
and intense, vibrant colors. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico
as a symbol of national and indigenous tradition, and by
feminists for her depiction of the female experience and form.

A survivor of polio, she entered a pre-med program in Mexico City. At
the age of 18, she was seriously injured in a bus accident. She spent over a year in bed recovering from fractures to her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, and shoulder and foot injuries. She
endured more than 30 operations in her lifetime

At 22 she married the famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera,
20 years her senior. Their stormy, passionate relationship
survived infidelities, the pressures of careers, divorce,
remarriage, affairs, Frida’s poor health and her inability to have
children.

Frida once said: "I suffered two grave accidents in my life…One
in which a streetcar knocked me down and the other was
Diego." The streetcar accident left her crippled physically and
Rivera crippled her emotionally.

Assignment
The next slide is a portrait Frida Kahlo painted. I want you to analyze the painting. Analyzing is not describing. I don’t want sentences like “The sky is gray.” I want sentences like “The sky may represent her emotions at the time—gloomy and sad.”
Write five sentences analyzing the portrait.
Then, write 5 main points about Frida’s life.
