105 Frida Kahlo Paintings

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter born on 6 July 1907 in Coyoacan, Mexico. She built a legacy that helped to encourage women to display their artistic sides. Kahlo was one of the first female pupils admitted to the National Preparatory School, where the ongoing work of Diego Rivera - a mural - inspired her to develop an interest in art. A near-fatal accident that left her bedridden compelled Kahlo to start painting portraits. Amidst a handful of unstable relationships, Frida continued to create her small-scale paintings, even exhibiting at the Art of This Century Gallery in New York. A year before her death in Coyoaca, Frida held the only solo exhibition of her career in 1953 at the Lola Alvarez Bravo Gallery. She is currently a role model for every ambitious female artist looking to defy the odds.

What was Frida Kahlo Known For?

Frida Kahlo was known for painting surrealist scenes that often revolved around human bodies and genre motifs. Before her accident, Frida was an excellent student of medicine and botany. Her paintings serve as a bridge between both of her passions - art and science. She often painted portraits of herself and her loved ones and depicted several emotional states in her work.

Who was Frida Kahlo Influenced By?

Frida Kahlo was influenced by Diego Rivera and her father, Wilhelm Kahlo. Kahlo's desire to pursue art ignited when she saw Rivera painting a mural at her school. Kahlo and Rivera eventually married in 1929. Frida's photographic portraits show the influence of her father, a photographer.
