Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907. Her parents' names were Guillermo and Matilde. When Frida was born her mother thought that Frida was ugly. 11 months later Frida's mom had another child.
On September 17, 1925 when Frida was only 18, she had a terrible accident that changed her life. Frida was riding home on a bus with her boyfriend, Alex. When the bus crashed into a street car,
Frida had horrible injuries. As a result she was stranded in bed for a year! In bed, she started painting self portraits.
They started dating, then on December 8, 1940 they got married. One time they got divorced but a year later they got married again. In her works she depicted her physical sufferings.
Frida Kahlo died on July 13, 1954. We will always remember her as the artist who didn't
give up...
