Frida Kahlo
Evan French
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) was a Mexican painter best known for her deeply personal and symbolic self-portraits. Born in Coyoacán, Mexico City, she endured lifelong health problems, including polio as a child and a near-fatal bus accident at age 18, which caused chronic pain and medical complications throughout her life. These experiences heavily influenced her art, which explored themes of identity, suffering, femininity, and Mexican culture.
Kahlo was associated with Surrealism, though she rejected the label, insisting that she painted her reality, not dreams. Her work often featured vivid colors, indigenous symbols, and stark imagery of pain and resilience. She married fellow artist Diego Rivera, and their tumultuous relationship also informed much of her work.
Despite limited recognition during her lifetime, Frida Kahlo has since become an icon of feminism, LGBTQ+ identity, and Mexican heritage. Today, she is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
