Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter born in 1907 who is known for her self-portraits exploring her Mexican and indigenous heritage as well as experiences with pain and suffering. As a child, she contracted polio and survived a serious bus accident that left her disabled. This accident redirected her ambition to become a doctor and led her to begin painting during her recovery. Kahlo's paintings often depicted her turbulent marriage to Diego Rivera and related to her numerous medical operations over 30 surgeries throughout her life. Despite greater recognition after her death, Kahlo was less famous than her husband Rivera during her lifetime but is now considered one of Mexico's most influential artists known for her intensely personal and autobiographical works.Mexican art by frida kahlo powerpoint

- 1. Frida Kahlo(1907-1954) FRIDA KAHLO (1907-1954) 'Self Portrait', 1940 (oil on board) Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907, ina suburb of(于仗亳亞仂仂亟亠) Mexico City. When she was six years old she was struck with polio(弍仍舒仗仂舒亢亠仆舒仗仂仍亳仂仄亳亠仍亳仂仄) which left her with a deformed right foot and the cruel nickname(仆亠亟仂弍舒磻仍亳从舒), Peg-leg Frida. Her original ambition (亠仄仍亠仆亳亠, 亠仍) was to be a doctor but a streetcar accident in 1925 left her disabled (从舒仍亠亳) and changed the path of her life (亳亰仄亠仆亳仍亳仗亠亠亢亳亰仆亳). It was after this accident that Kahlo began to paint in order to relieve the boredom(仂弍于舒亰亳仂从) during her convalescence( 于亰亟仂仂于仍亠仆亳亠).

A Turbulent(弍仆亶) Relationship Frida Kahlo underwent(仗亠亠仆亠仍舒)more than thirty operations in the course of her life ( 仂亟亠亠亠亢亳亰仆亳), and most of her paintings relate to(仂仆仂 从) her experiences with physical and psychological suffering(舒亟舒仆亳). They also chronicle(仂仆亳从舒) her turbulent relationship with Diego Rivera, Mexicos most famous painter, whom Kahlo met in 1928 and married in 1929. Rivera was frequentlyunfaithful to (舒仂亳亰仄亠仆磿) her, even (亟舒亢亠) starting an affair(仂仄舒仆) with her sister, Cristina. Kahlo retaliated with (仂仗仍舒亳仍舒) her own affairs. Eventually(于从仂仆亠仆仂仄亠亠) they divorced in 1939 but remarried a year later. Kahlo is quoted (亳亳仂于舒) as saying about the relationship,"There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley(从舒舒仍从舒), and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst(弍仍 弍亠亰仍仂于仆仂 亟亳仄)." A Fusion of Styles
- 3. FRIDA KAHLO (1907-1954) 'Self Portrait in a Velvet Dress (舒于仂仗仂亠于弍舒舒仆仂仄仗仍舒亠)', 1926 (oil on canvas (仂仍)) One of Kahlo's early works, the Self-Portrait in a Velvet Dress suggests an influence (仗亠亟仗仂仍舒亞舒亠于仍亳礌亳亠) and knowledge of European art. The elongation(亟仍亳仆亠仆亳亠) of the hands and neck recalls (仆舒仗仂仄亳仆舒亠) the Mannerist portraits of Bronzino, while (仂) the turbulent waves in the background suggest the deep emotional turmoil (亞仍弍仂从亳亠仄仂亳仂仆舒仍仆亠仗仂亠仆亳) that can be found in the ice blue self portrait by Van Gogh in the Mus辿e d'Orsay. Kahlo began to deny quite obvious(弌仂于亠亠仆仆仂仂亠于亳亟仆仂, 仂亳舒) European influences such as Surrealism, as she, along with Rivera, became a driving force (舒仍舒亟于亳亢亠亶亳仍仂亶) of the Mexicanidad movement which sought to increase (舒从仂仂仂亞仂亠仄亳亠仍仆仂于仂亰舒舒亠) the status of Mexican culture and decrease(仄亠仆舒亠) the Spanish influence from Europe. She started to wear traditional Mexican costumes and braided her hair with ribbons, flowers and jewellery to identify with indigenous Mexican culture. The imagery and colours in her paintings were also changed to reflect this national pride. Although initially a self-taught painter from a humble backgroundFrida Kahlo was, through her relationship with Diego Rivera, moving in the most fashionable and influential social circles. However, between 1930 and 1934, Kahlo and Rivera moved to the USA to escape political persecution due to their Communist sympathies. During that time Kahlo fell pregnant twice and lost the child on both occasions, ultimately due to complicationsresulting from her streetcar injuries. The subjects of her paintings from this point onwards deal increasingly with her feelings about loss, infertility, pain and alienation.
- 4. FRIDA KAHLO (1907-1954) 'Self Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird', 1940 (oil on canvas) In her Self-Portrait above, Kahlo portrays herself as a Christ like victim - the crown of thorns replaced by a necklace of thorns with a hummingbird 'medallion'. This fusion of Christian and Aztec imagery is common in Mexican culture: the Aztec god 'Huitzilopochtli' is often depicted as a hummingbird.
- 5. FRIDA KAHLO (1907-1954) 'The Broken Column', 1944 (oil on board) The Broken Column (1944) is a metaphor for Kahlos own pain. Her spine is represented by a shattered stone column. This is visible through her broken body which is only held together by a harness. She is naked and the surface of her flesh is punctured by sharp nails. Silent tears drop from her eyes as she stands alone in a desolatewasteland without any sign of hope on the horizon. This is ableak self image but Kahlos endurance heroically prevails in this landscape of despair.
- 6. FRIDA KAHLO (1907-1954) 'Self Portrait with the Portrait of Doctor Farill', 1951 (oil on board) In the 1950s, Kahlos health seriously declined and the technical quality of her work suffered. Several spinal operations left her crippled with pain and she was confined to a wheelchair. 'Self-Portrait with the Portrait of Dr. Farill' (1951) is typical of this final period of her work. This double portrait, where Kahlo sits in her wheelchair holding her brushes and palette close to her painting of her surgeon Dr. Farill, is a statement about the nature of her art. "My painting carries with it the message of pain ... Painting completed my life." A section of her heart replaces the palette on her lap, while her paintbrushes drip with blood, leaving the viewer in no doubt about their importance to her existence. In the summer of 1954, Frida Kahlo died from pneumonia in the house where she was born. During her lifetime, she did not enjoy the same level of

FRIDA KAHLO (1907-1954) 'Frida in Coyoac叩n', 1939 (photograph by Nickolas Muray) Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907, in Coyoac叩n, a suburb of Mexico City. At six years old Frida contracted polio which left her with a deformed right foot and the cruel nickname, 'Peg-Leg' Frida.
- 8. A streetcar accident in 1925 left Frida Kahlo disabled and changed her life. She started to paint during her recovery. Kahlo met the great Mexican artist Diego Rivera in 1928 and married him in 1929. Their relationship was always turbulent. Kahlo began to deny any European influences in her art. She started to wear traditional Mexican costumes and braided her hair with ribbons and flowers to identify with her indigenous Mexican culture. After two unsuccessful pregnancies, Kahlo's paintings increasingly dealt with her feelings about loss, infertility, pain and alienation. Most of her works are self portraits that explicitly deal with her own physical and psychological suffering. During her lifetime, she did not enjoy the same level of recognition as her husband, Diego Rivera, but today her intensely autobiographical work is as critically acclaimed as that of her male peers. In the summer of 1954, Frida Kahlo died from pneumonia in the house where she was born. http://www.artyfactory.com/art_appreciation/portraits/frida_kahlo.htm
