Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón [a] was born on 6 July 1907 in Coyoacán, a village on the outskirts of Mexico City. [134] [135] Kahlo stated that she was born at the family home, La Casa Azul (The Blue House), but according to the official birth registry, the birth took place at the nearby home of her maternal grandmother. [136] Kahlo's parents were photographer Guillermo Kahlo (1871–1941) and Matilde Calderón y González (1876–1932), and they were thirty-six and thirty, respectively, when they had her. [137] Originally from Germany, Guillermo had immigrated to Mexico in 1891, after epilepsy caused by an accident ended his university studies. [138] Although Kahlo said her father was Jewish and her paternal grandparents were Jews from the city of Arad, [139] this claim was challenged in 2006 by a pair of German genealogists who found he was instead a Lutheran. [140] [141] Matilde was born in Oaxaca to an Indigenous father and a mother of Spanish descent. [142] In addition to Kahlo, the marriage produced daughters Matilde ( c. 1898–1951), Adriana ( c. 1902–1968), and Cristina ( c. 1908–1964). [143] She had two half-sisters from Guillermo's first marriage, María Luisa and Margarita, but they were raised in a convent. [144] problems.

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón ( Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾiða ˈkalo]; 6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954 [1]) was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. [2] Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist. [3] She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. [4] a b Foreman, Jonathan (October 25, 2002). "Frida,' Ole!". New York Post. News Corporation.

Most of the paintings Kahlo made during this time were portraits of herself, her sisters, and her schoolfriends. [16] Her early paintings and correspondence show that she drew inspiration especially from European artists, in particular Renaissance masters such as Sandro Botticelli and Bronzino [17] and from avant-garde movements such as Neue Sachlichkeit and Cubism. [18] Soon after the marriage, in late 1929, Kahlo and Rivera moved to Cuernavaca in the rural state of Morelos, where he had been commissioned to paint murals for the Palace of Cortés. [183] Around the same time, she resigned her membership of the PCM in support of Rivera, who had been expelled shortly before the marriage for his support of the leftist opposition movement within the Third International. [184]Film critic Roger Ebert awarded Frida three and a half stars and commented: "Sometimes we feel as if the film careens from one colorful event to another without respite, but sometimes it must have seemed to Frida Kahlo as if her life did, too." [21] Ebert thought Taymor and the writers had "obviously struggled with the material", though he called the closing scenes "extraordinary."
