  1. FRIDA KAHLO 1907 -1954

  2. Frida Kahlo was born in Coyoacan in 1907 and was one of the best painters of surrealism. Frida Kahlo at eighteen suffered a terrible accident that left her unable to walk but thanks to this event during his recovery he learned to paint, she married the famous muralist Diego Rivera soon became pregnant, but miscarried in 1932, is a woman who suffered much as it had a leg amputated, could not have children and gave his love bronchopneumonia was Diego Rivera. It is the most important painters of our country and although classified as surrealist painter she said she did not paint dreams but the reality of her life Frida Kahlo died in 1954 in his blue house in Coyoacan. Some of his works are:

  3. Frieda and Diego Rivera 1931 This folkloric style double-portrait may have been based on their wedding photograph. It was completed about two years after their marriage while Frida and Diego were in San Francisco.

  4. My Grandparents, My Parents and Me 1936 This is the first of two family portraits in which Frida was tracing the history of her ancestry. She appears as a little girl in the courtyard of the Blue House in Coyoacan, Mexico, where she was born

  5. Portrait of Diego Rivera 1937 This is a portrait of Frida's husband, the famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. At the time this portrait was painted Diego was 51 years old. However, in this portrait he appears to be much younger. Also, Diego was tall, heavy and larger than life. In this painting he appears much thinner.

  6. Self Portrait with a Monkey 1938 In Mexican mythology, the monkey is the patron of the dance, but also a symbol of lust. Here, however, the artist portrays the animal as a living, tender and soulful being with its arm placed protectively around her neck.

  7. The Broken Column 1944 This self-portrait is in sharp contrast to Frida's other self-portraits in that she is all alone… no monkeys, no cats, no parrots, and no background of protective leaves and plants. Instead, Frida stands all alone crying on a vast baron plain beneath a stormy sky. Perhaps it's her way of saying that she must deal with her physical and emotional pain on her own.

  8. Without Hope 1945 A lack of appetite resulting from her many surgeries and numerous illnesses, left Frida very thin. Her doctor, Dr Eloesser, prescribed complete bed rest and a fattening diet of puréed food every two hours. In this painting, the artist portrays what she considered to be a "forced feeding" diet.

  9. Self Portrait 1948 This is Frida's second self-portrait in which she appears wearing the traditional Tehuana headdress that Diego loved so much. In this portrait, the lace ruff closes off space and makes her look trapped.

  10. Self-Portrait with the Portrait of Doctor Farill 1951 This painting is a portrait of Frida with her surgeon Doctor Juan Farill. This was her last signed self-portrait.

  11. Still Life with Watermelons 1953 Frida was painting these "still life" works during periods of pain. She was, for the most part, confined to her bed, very sick and heavily medicated.

  12. Viva la Vida, Watermelons 1954 Most all Kahlo books agree that this is Frida's last painting and that 8 days before her deathshe added the inscription "Viva la Vida - Coyoacán 1954 Mexico". However, because of the quality of this still life, I was never convinced that it was painted in 1954.

  13. The house where Frida Kahlo lived and died
