Como se sabe, Frida Kahlo fue una de las pintoras más prolíficas de su tiempo. Nacida en 1907, pocos años antes de la Revolución Mexicana, quien sobrevivió a la poliomielitis y un accidente de autobús en su juventud.

A los 22 años, se casó pintor Diego Rivera, por primera vez, después de una tumultuosa unión de diez años, ambos artistas tuvieron numerosas aventuras amorosas. Pronto se divorciaron pero al final se volvieron a casar antes de que Frida Kahlo muera en 1954.

La muerte del artista Frida Kahlo se atribuyó oficialmente a una embolia pulmonar, aunque no se le practicó una autopsia. Desde su muerte, la celebridad no ha hecho más que crecer. En 2001, se convirtió en la primera mujer hispana que puso su rostro en un sello postal EE.UU., y su trabajo de 1943 ‘Raíces’ estableció el récord para el retrato más vendido por un artista latinoamericano en 2006.

Mcl020 is correct, Frida didn't have any children. After her death Diego Rivera (they did marry), gave her home to the people of Mexico. If you click you the link on the photo page

There's a movie starring Salma Hayek called Frida that tells a lot about her life. If you're interested , that would be a good place to start. - Leatha, Mar 22, 2012

I must say that I'm shocked that people don't know who Frida Kahlo was! She was an amazing woman, artist, and put up with her significant other (not sure if they ever married) Diego Rivera for many years.

Thanks for posting, Leatha, nice artwork.
