FRIDA KAHLO (1907 -1954)
Renowned Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, whose works command higher
prices than any other female artist, is noted for her vibrant self-portraits and
works that reflect strong nationalist and feminist ideas. Kahlo’s work
celebrates rich Mexican folk traditions and her passion for life, despite
being crippled with permanent pain, caused by a trolley accident in her
teens. Her unique style explores the search for identity, sexuality and the
female experience. An open and unapologetic bisexual, Kahlo painted with
sheer abandon and honesty. As one critic noted her works are “colorful
symphonies of liberation in all of its guises, as beautiful and vital today as
ever.”
“Passion is the bridge that takes you from pain to change.” Frida Kahlo.
