Frida Kahlo

When Frida Kahlo had her first solo exhibition in Mexico a local critic wrote:
"It is impossible to separate the life and work of this extraordinary person. Her paintings are her biography."
Frida Kahlo was born in Mexico, July 6th, 1907.
She did not originally plan to become an artist. 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.
