Frida Kahlo - Her Painitngs

Frida Kahlo - (1907-1954)
Frida Kahlo, born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón, lived from July 6, 1907 to July 13, 1954. During her short lived life, she had many accomplishments. She was a surrealist artist who expressed her feelings and thoughts through her paintings. To the public she was a high spirited rebellious woman. Her paintings were full of personal content. They expressed her internal feelings. Her creative style was always breathtaking yet bewildering. Frida was probably the most idolized woman artist of her time and "today, she is a figure of legendary power whose work inspires excitement and awe throughout the world."

She also wrote a diary with poems, stories and songs; and she had a very good sense of humor: 'I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.' - what a Woman, what a Human Being!

I had the privilege to attend an exhibit two years ago in Lisboa - touching.

Thank you for the video and for the link.

An exceptional artist. Her talent and passion for life bravely faced her physical and mental suffering. Stunning paintings! They speak for themselves.

This song makes me feel how sorrowful and painful how life in Frida Kahlo can be... generally how life can really be... though portrayed in such joyful ode of colors so much more nearing to her death... the happier & surreal her expression in paintings become, even in her sickness he paint, paint and paint! A lil too graphic since her expression were very vivid, the symptoms of the beginning rage of the feminine movement in the beginning of 1900's....
