Kahlo had a terrible life medically. At an early age, she contracted polio which crippled one leg. At 18, a handrail impaled her pelvis during a bus accident. Later on in life her crippled leg had to be amputated.
She was interested in anarchism, Communism and having affairs, including with Leon Trotsky. I suspect that her marriage to artist Diego Rivera was part of her fame.
She’s part mestizo and was born in Mexico. Why that doesn’t qualify her to paint with Mexican imagery, I don’t understand. Being half-German makes her all white and privileged? If so, then Obama isn’t our first black president. These people are illogical.
Illogical ?!!Oh yeah!
