"Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in the house of her parents, known as La Casa Azul (The Blue House), in Coyoacán. At the time, this was a small town on the outskirts of Mexico City.On September 17, 1925, Kahlo was riding in a bus when the vehicle collided with a trolley car. She suffered serious injuries in the accident, including a broken spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, eleven fractures in her right leg, a crushed and dislocated right foot, and a dislocated shoulder. An iron handrail pierced her abdomen and her uterus, which seriously damaged her reproductive ability.She had thirty-five operations as a result of the accident."( wikipedia,Frida)After the accident,Frida turned her attention away from the pain and became a full-time painter. The accident left her in a great deal of pain while she recovered in a full body cast; she painted to keep her intertained.Although she recovered from her injuries and eventually regained her ability to walk, she was plagued by relapses of extreme pain for the remainder of her life.One day, she approached the painter, Diego Rivera, whose work she like alot, asking him for advice about continuing her art career. He recognized her talent.They began an intimate relationship with Frida. "They were married in 1929, despite the disapproval of Frida's mother.
Their marriage was often tumultuous. Kahlo and Rivera had fiery temperaments and had numerous extramarital affairs. Kahlo had affairs with both men and women, Rivera knew and tolerated her relationships with women, but her relationships with men made him jealous. For her part, Kahlo was furious when she learned that Rivera had an affair with her younger sister, Cristina. The couple eventually divorced, but remarried in 1940."(Wikipedia,frida)
