Frida Kahlo urodziła się w 1907 roku w Meksyku. Zanim dorosła i została wielką malarką, była pełnym temperamentu dzieckiem.

# data[].attributes.body
Jako dziecko zachorowała na polio i leżała w łóżku przez 9 miesięcy. Wyzdrowiała, ale do końca życia pozostał ślad po tych zmaganiach — jej prawa noga była krótsza i cieńsza niż lewa. To nie był jedyny czas, kiedy Frida była w izolacji, a mimo to starała się nie poddawać. Gdy Frida miała 18 lat, przeżyła straszny wypadek drogowy i była przykuta do łóżka przez wiele miesięcy. Doświadczyła wiele bólu i przeszła mnóstwo operacji, co doprowadziło do tego, że Frida spędzała dużo swojego czasu samotnie.

Aby się nie nudzić, Frida zajęła się malarstwem. Początkowo pożyczała farby i pędzle od ojca, który był profesjonalnym fotografem i artystą amatorem. Zrobił nawet dla córki specjalną sztalugę, aby mogła malować swoje portrety, podczas gdy leżała na łóżku, a jej ciało owinięte było gipsem. Do baldachimu przymocowano jej także lustro. I tak Frida rozpoczęła nowy rozdział w swoim życiu, zaczynając tworzyć obrazy, które do dzisiaj stanowią ważny element kulturowy.

# data[].attributes.body
Wiele obrazów Fridy przedstawia ból i izolacje, których doswiadczyla przez całe życie. To nie powstrzymalo jej jednak przed byciem żywą postacią i osiąganiem wielkich rzeczy. Frida Kahlo była pierwszą meksykańską artystką, która zaprezentowała swoje dzieła sztuki w słynnym Luwrze w Paryżu. Sztukę Fridy Kahlo rozpoznaje się dzięki jaskrawym kolorom i niesamowitej symbolice. Jej obrazy były barwne i pełne emocji. Dla Fridy kolor i akcesoria, które uwieczniała w swoich obrazach miały ogromne znaczenie. Te wszystkie elementy wyrażały emocje, stany ducha, miały znaczenie  symboliczne jak również odwoływały się do tradycji Meksyku.

Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida_Kahlo

Frida Kahlo typically uses the visual symbolism of physical pain in a long-standing attempt to better understand emotional suffering. Before Kahlo's efforts, the language of loss, death, and selfhood, had been relatively well investigated by some male artists (including Albrecht Dürer, Francisco Goya, and Edvard Munch), but had not yet been significantly dissected by a woman. Indeed not only did Kahlo enter into an existing language, but she also expanded it and made it her own. By literally exposing interior organs, and depicting her own body in a bleeding and broken state, Kahlo opened up our insides to help explain human behaviors on the outside. She gathered together motifs that would repeat throughout her career, including ribbons, hair, and personal animals, and in turn, created a new and articulate means to discuss the most complex aspects of female identity.

Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo Calderon was born at La Casa Azul (The Blue House) in Coyoacan, a town on the outskirts of Mexico City in 1907. Her father, Wilhelm Kahlo, was German and had moved to Mexico at a young age where he remained for the rest of his life, eventually taking over the photography business of Kahlo's mother's family. Kahlo's mother, Matilde Calderon y Gonzalez, was of mixed Spanish and Indian ancestry and raised Frida and her three sisters in a strict and religious household (Frida also had two half-sisters from her father's first marriage who were raised in a convent). La Casa Azul was not only Kahlo's childhood home but also the place that she returned to live and work from 1939 until her death. It later opened as the Frida Kahlo Museum.

Aside from her mother's rigidity, religious fanaticism, and a tendency toward outbursts, several other events in Kahlo's childhood affected her deeply. At age six, Kahlo contracted polio; a long recovery isolated her from other children and permanently damaged one of her legs, causing her to walk with a limp after recovery. Wilhelm, with whom Kahlo was very close, and particularly so after the experience of being invalid, enrolled his daughter at the German College in Mexico City and introduced Kahlo to the writings of European philosophers such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, and Arthur Schopenhauer. All of Kahlo's sisters instead attended a convent school so it seems that there was a thirst for expansive learning noted in Frida that resulted in her father making different decisions especially for her. Kahlo was grateful for this and despite a strained relationship with her mother, always credited her father with great tenderness and insight. Still, she was interested in both strands of her roots, and her mixed European and Mexican heritage provided life-long fascination in her approach towards both life and art.
Kahlo had a horrible experience at the German School where she was sexually abused and thus forced to leave. Luckily at the time, the Mexican Revolution and the Minister of Education had changed the education policy, and from 1922 girls were admitted to the National Preparatory School. Kahlo was one of the first 35 girls admitted and she began to study medicine, botany, and the social sciences. She excelled academically, became very interested in Mexican culture, and also became active politically.

When Kahlo was 15, Diego Rivera (already a renowned artist) was painting the Creation mural (1922) in the amphitheater of her Preparatory School. Upon seeing him work, Kahlo experienced a moment of infatuation and fascination that she would go on to fully explore later in life. Meanwhile, she enjoyed helping her father in his photography studio and received drawing instruction from her father's friend, Fernando Fernandez - for whom she was an apprentice engraver. At this time Kahlo also befriended a dissident group of students known as the Cachuchas, who confirmed the young artist's rebellious spirit and further encouraged her interest in literature and politics. In 1923 Kahlo fell in love with a fellow member of the group, Alejandro Gomez Arias, and the two remained romantically involved until 1928. Sadly, in 1925 together with Alejandro (who survived unharmed) on their way home from school, Kahlo got into a near-fatal bus accident. She suffered multiple fractures throughout her body, including a crushed pelvis, and a metal rod impaled her womb. She spent one month in the hospital immobile and bound in a plaster corset, and following this period, many more months bedridden at home. During her long recovery, she began to experiment in small-scale autobiographical portraiture, henceforth abandoning her medical pursuits due to practical circumstances and turning her focus to art.

During the months of convalescence at home, Kahlo's parents made her a special easel, gave her a set of paints, and placed a mirror above her head so that she could see her reflection and make self-portraits. Kahlo spent hours confronting existential questions raised by her trauma including a feeling of dissociation from her identity, a growing interiority, and general closeness to death. She drew upon the acute pictorial realism known from her father's photographic portraits (which she greatly admired) and approached her early portraits (mostly of herself, her sisters, and her school friends) with the same psychological intensity. At the time, Kahlo seriously considered becoming a medical illustrator during this period as she saw this as a way to marry her interests in science and art.

By 1927, Kahlo was well enough to leave her bedroom and thus re-kindled her relationship with the Cachuchas group, which was by this point all the more political. She joined the Mexican Communist Party (PCM) and began to familiarize herself with the artistic and political circles in Mexico City. In June 1928, Kahlo was personally introduced to Diego Rivera who was already one of Mexico's most famous artists and a highly influential member of the PCM. Soon after, Kahlo boldly asked him to decide, upon looking at one of her portraits, if her work was worthy of pursuing a career as an artist. He was utterly impressed by the honesty and originality of her painting and assured her of her talents. Even though Rivera had already been married twice, and was known to have an insatiable fondness for women, the two quickly began a romantic relationship and were married in 1929. According to Kahlo's mother, who outwardly expressed her dissatisfaction with the match, the couple were 'the elephant and the dove'. Her father, however, unconditionally supported his daughter and was happy to know that Rivera had the financial means to help with Kahlo's medical bills. The new couple moved to Cuernavaca in the rural state of Morelos where Kahlo devoted herself entirely to painting.

By the early 1930s, Kahlo's painting had evolved to include a more assertive sense of Mexican identity, a facet of her artwork that had stemmed from her exposure to the modernist Indigenist movement in Mexico and from her interest in preserving the revival of Mexicanidad during the rise of fascism in Europe. Kahlo's interest in distancing herself from her German roots is evidenced in her name change from Frieda to Frida, and in her decision to wear traditional Tehuana costume (the dress from earlier matriarchal times). At the time, two failed pregnancies augmented Kahlo's simultaneously harsh and beautiful representation of the specifically female experience through symbolism and autobiography.

During the first few years of the 1930s, Kahlo and Rivera lived in San Francisco, Detroit, and New York whilst Rivera was creating various murals. Kahlo also completed some seminal works including Frieda and Diego Rivera (1931) and Self-Portrait on the Borderline Between Mexico and The United States (1932) with the latter expressing her observations of rivalry taking place between nature and industry in the two lands.

Soon after the unveiling of a large and controversial Man at the Crossroads mural (1933) that Rivera had made for the Rockefeller Centre in New York, the couple returned to Mexico as Kahlo was feeling particularly homesick. They moved into a new house in the wealthy neighborhood of San Angel. The house was made up of two separate parts joined by a bridge. This set up was appropriate as their relationship was undergoing immense strain. Kahlo had numerous health issues while Rivera, although he had been previously unfaithful, at this time had an affair with Kahlo's younger sister Cristina which understandably hurt Kahlo more than her husband's other infidelities. Kahlo too started to have her extramarital affairs at this point. Not long after returning to Mexico from the States, she met the Hungarian photographer Nickolas Muray, who was on holiday in Mexico. The two began an on-and-off romantic affair that lasted 10 years, and it is Muray who is credited as the man who captured Kahlo most colorfully on camera.
While briefly separated from Diego following the affair with her sister and living in her flat away from San Angel, Kahlo also had a short affair with the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi. The two highly politically and socially conscious artists remained friends until Kahlo's death.

In 1936, Kahlo joined the Fourth International (a Communist organization) and often used La Casa Azul as a meeting point for international intellectuals, artists, and activists. She also offered the house where the exiled Russian Communist leader Leon Trotsky and his wife, Natalia Sedova, could take up residence once they were granted asylum in Mexico. In 1937, as well as helping Trotsky, Kahlo and the political icon embarked on a short love affair. Trotsky and his wife remained in La Casa Azul until mid-1939.

During a visit to Mexico City in 1938, the founder of Surrealism, André Breton, was enchanted with Kahlo's painting and wrote to his friend and art dealer, Julien Levy, who quickly invited Kahlo to hold her first solo show at his gallery in New York. This time around, Kahlo traveled to the States without Rivera and upon arrival caused a huge media sensation. People were attracted to her colorful and exotic (but actually traditional) Mexican costumes and her exhibition was a success. Georgia O'Keeffe was one of the notable guests to attend Kahlo's opening. Kahlo enjoyed some months socializing in New York and then sailed to Paris in early 1939 to exhibit with the Surrealists there. That exhibition was not as successful and she became quickly tired of the over-intellectualism of the Surrealist group. Kahlo returned to New York hoping to continue her love affair with Muray, but he broke off the relationship as he had recently met somebody else. Thus Kahlo traveled back to Mexico City and upon her return, Rivera requested a divorce.

Following her divorce, Kahlo moved back to La Casa Azul. She moved away from her smaller paintings and began to work on much larger canvases. In 1940 Kahlo and Rivera remarried and their relationship became less turbulent as Kahlo's health deteriorated. Between the years of 1940-1956, the suffering artist often had to wear supportive back corsets to help her spinal problems, she also had an infectious skin condition, along with syphilis. When her father died in 1941, this exacerbated both her depression and her health. She again was often housebound and found simple pleasure in surrounding herself by animals and tending to the garden at La Casa Azul.

Meanwhile, throughout the 1940s, Kahlo's work grew in notoriety and acclaim from international collectors and was included in several group shows both in the United States and in Mexico. In 1943, her work was included in Women Artists at Peggy Guggenheim's Art of This Century Gallery in New York. In this same year, Kahlo accepted a teaching position at a painting school in Mexico City (the school known as La Esmeralda) and acquired highly devoted students with whom she undertook some mural commissions. She struggled to continue making a living from her art, never accommodating to clients' wishes if she did not like them, but luckily received a national prize for her painting Moses (1945) and then The Two Fridas (1939) was bought by the Museo de Arte Moderno in 1947. Meanwhile, the artist grew progressively ill. She had a complicated operation to try and straighten her spine, but it failed and from 1950 onwards, she was often confined to a wheelchair.

She continued to paint relatively prolifically in her final years while also maintaining her political activism, and protesting nuclear testing by Western powers. Kahlo exhibited one last time in Mexico in 1953 at Lola Alvarez Bravo's gallery, her first and only solo-show in Mexico. She was brought to the event in an ambulance, with her four-poster bed following on the back of a truck. The bed was then placed in the center of the gallery so that she could lie there for the duration of the opening.

Kahlo died in 1954 at La Casa Azul. While the official cause of death was given as pulmonary embolism, questions have been raised about suicide - either deliberate or accidental. She was 47 years old.

As an individualist who was disengaged from any official artistic movement, Kahlo's artwork has been associated with Primitivism, Indigenism, Magic Realism, and Surrealism. Posthumously, Kahlo's artwork has grown profoundly influential for feminist studies and postcolonial debates, while Kahlo has become an international cultural icon. The artist's celebrity status for mass audiences has at times resulted in the compartmentalization of the artist's work as representative of interwar Latin American artwork at large, distanced from the complexities of Kahlo's deeply personal subject matter. Recent exhibitions, such as Unbound: Contemporary Art After Frida Kahlo (2014) at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, have attempted to reframe Kahlo's cultural significance by underscoring her lasting impact on the politics of the body and Kahlo's challenge to mainstream aesthetics of representation. Dreamers Awake (2017) held at The White Cube Gallery in London further illustrated the huge influence that Frida Kahlo and a handful of other early female Surrealists have had on the development and progression of female art.

Kahlo uses religious symbolism throughout her oeuvre. She appears as the Madonna holding her 'animal babies', and becomes the Virgin Mary as she cradles Diego Rivera. She identifies with Saint Sebastian, and even fittingly appears as the martyred Christ. She positions herself as a prophet when she takes to head of the table in her Last Supper-style painting, and her accident when impaled on a metal bar (and covered in gold dust when lying injured) recalls the crucifixion and suggests her holiness. Following a repeated miscarriage, Kahlo asks to what extent does motherhood or the absence of this impact on female identity. She alters the meaning of maternal subjectivity irreversibly. It becomes clear through umbilical symbolism (often shown by ribbons) that Kahlo is connected to all that surrounds her, and that she is a 'mother' without children.

The legacy of Kahlo cannot be underestimated or exaggerated. It likely that every female artist making art since the 1950s will quote her as an influence, but it is not only artists and those who are interested in art that she inspires. Her art also supports people who suffer as a result of an accident, as a result of miscarriage, and as a result of a failed marriage. Through imagery, Kahlo articulated experiences so complex, making them more manageable and giving viewers hope that they can endure, recover, and start again. Kahlo made it legitimate for women to outwardly display their pains and frustrations and to thus take steps towards understanding them.

Women before Kahlo who had attempted to communicate the wildest and deepest of emotions were often labeled hysterical or condemned insane - while men were aligned with the 'melancholy' character type. By remaining artistically active under the weight of sadness, Kahlo revealed that women too can be melancholy rather than depressed and that these terms should not be thought of as gendered.

Frida Kahlo de Rivera (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾiða ˈkalo]; born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón; July 6, 1907 - July 13, 1954) was a Mexican artist who painted 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. 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.

Kahlo's work has been celebrated internationally as emblematic of Mexican national and Indigenous traditions, and by feminists for what is seen as its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.

Born to a German father and a mestiza mother, Kahlo spent most of her childhood and adult life at her family home in Coyoacán, La Casa Azul, now known and publicly accessible as the Frida Kahlo Museum. She was left disabled by polio as a child, and at the age of eighteen was seriously injured in a traffic accident which caused her pain and medical problems for the rest of her life. Prior to the accident, she had been a promising student headed for medical school, but in its aftermath and long recovery she had to abandon higher education. Although art had been Kahlo's hobby throughout her childhood, she began to entertain the idea of becoming an artist.

Kahlo was also interested in politics, and in 1927 joined the Mexican Communist Party. Through the Party she met the celebrated muralist Diego Rivera. They were married in 1928, and remained a couple until Kahlo's death. The relationship was volatile due to both having extramarital affairs; and while they divorced in 1939, they remarried the following year.

Kahlo spent the late 1920s and early 1930s traveling in Mexico and the United States with Rivera, who was working on commissions. During this time she developed her own style as an artist, and drew her main inspiration from Mexican folk culture. She began painting, and painted mostly small self-portraits which mixed elements from pre-Columbian and Catholic mythology. Although always overshadowed by Rivera, her paintings raised the interest of Surrealist artist André Breton, who arranged for Kahlo to have her first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1938. The exhibition was a success, and was followed by another in Paris in 1939. While the French exhibition was less successful, the Louvre purchased a painting from Kahlo, The Frame, making her the first Mexican artist to be featured in their collection.

Throughout the 1940s, Kahlo continued to participate in exhibitions in Mexico and the United States. She also began to teach at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda", and became a founding member of the Seminario de Cultura Mexicana. Kahlo's always fragile health began to increasingly decline in the same decade. She had her first solo exhibition in Mexico in 1953, shortly before her death in 1954 at the age of 47.

Frida Kahlo faced a lot of pain in her life, but she turned it all into art. Teach children about this incredible artist and personality with these 10 fantastic Frida Kahlo Art Projects for Kids.

"I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality." - Frida Kahlo

We often hear about artists' deriving inspiration from pain, but Mexican painter Frida Kahlo's art isn't just derived from pain, it is pain. That's how powerful her work is, and you can't help but be touched somewhere deep every time you look at a painting by this talented artist.

Frida Kahlo was born in Mexico and was Mexican to the core, as can be seen by her art. She focused on traditional Mexican motifs and was a strong believer in promoting indigenous Mexican culture, which was under threat from colonialism. She even took to wearing Mexican peasant dresses and doing up her hair differently, a look that has now become iconic.

Frida suffered all kinds of agony throughout her life, both physical and emotional. From contracting polio as a child, to enduring a broken spine and pelvis in an accident to a leg amputation, Frida spent her entire life in pain. Her relationships were also volatile, and she always yearned to connect with others, but eventually ended up choosing herself as her best friend.

Kahlo's work can't be limited to any particular style, although some call it 'magical realism' or surrealism, although she denied her work was surrealist. Her pain comes through very strongly in her art, in the graphic details, the jagged edges and colors. But she never shied away from painting the truth, and her paintings are often a reflection of the experiences of many women around the world. It is probably due to this and due to her strong sense of individuality, that Frida is regarded as a feminist icon today.

All this makes Frida Kahlo a personality that can't be ignored! To introduce kids to this beautiful, independent and extremely talented artist, here are 10 fantastic Frida Kahlo art projects for kids to make.

One of the most identifying features of Frida Kahlo's appearance was the flowers she used in her hair, piled high. Her love for flowers is evident when she said, "I paint flowers so they will not die." If you're trying to make a Frida Kahlo costume or just want to channel her love for flowers, try out this beautiful flower headband craft from See Vanessa Craft.

Kahlo painted several self portraits, and she also included herself in many of her other paintings. One of the most popular self portraits is 'The Frame', which features Frida on a blue background amidst a colorful frame. This is the first work by a Mexican artist to be bought by the Louvre in France. Woojr has a fun project to create a similar self-portrait - frame and all!

Frida Kahlo never had children; she couldn't carry her pregnancies to term because of her ill health. But she did have several pets, including monkeys, dogs and birds. This shadow box project by Crafty Chica displays the artist surrounded by her favorite things - her pets and flowers! This is a detailed project that's better suited for older kids who can take it up as a weekend project.

La Casa Azul (The Blue House) is the house where Frida Kahlo grew up, lived with her husband and eventually died in. The house was later turned into a museum called Museo Frida Kahlo and is one of the most popular spots in Mexico City. Fun for Spanish Teachers has a pretty paper craft based on Kahlo's beloved home which has some interesting features like the front door opening up to reveal Frida herself standing to welcome you!

Today, Frida is considered a feminist icon, and a role model for adolescent girls. Probably because they'll be able to relate to the rebelliousness she felt through her own teen years! Mexican society, like many others in those days, was hugely patriarchal, with a priority on male machismo. Frida detested this concept. Her individuality and refusal to conform to social norms just because of being a woman make her one sassy woman! Mom.Me has the perfect project for pre-teens and teenagers so they can hear Frida's words in their ears all the time.

Frida's personal style was very distinct and powerful and she actually used her appearance to make a statement. She was also proud of the way she was - unibrow, moustache and all. She painted herself with brutal honesty, and never hid the unique details that made her who she was. This Frida Kahlo head vase from The House that Lars Built is a lovely project that celebrates all these little things about Frida that made her special.

Frida Kahlo was a complex personality who went through a lot in her life. It can be difficult for kids to understand this, but this book does so beautifully. It doesn't skimp over the details of Kahlo's life, but goes on to show how she derived strength from the events in her life and how it affected her art. The book also describes the techniques she used and about her famous works. A great read for middle schoolers and older.

We love this little project from Made Everyday, to go with the book 'Who was Frida Kahlo?' Once the kids learn about this incredible artist, let them create little crafts based on whatever touched them the most about her story. It could be flowers, a self portrait, a blue house - anything! Let them put it all in a little can or cardboard tube decorated as, who else - Frida Kahlo!

Frida spent many years of her life married to the famous painter and much older Diego Rivera, another icon of Mexican art. While their relationship was often turbulent, they still worked together to support the Mexican revolution. The painting 'Frida and Diego Rivera' was made shortly after their wedding and echoes what the world saw - a physically mismatched couple, the famous painter husband and his delicate, pretty wife. Modern Art 4 Kids gives this painting a skeletal edge with a colorful paper collage.

For kids who are just beginning to learn about the artist and who would rather do something simple, it's a good idea to start with a coloring page. Mom.Me has a free printable Frida Kahlo coloring page featuring her self portrait, which gives kids plenty of scope to add lots of color. Show them several of Kahlo's self portraits before they begin, so they get an idea of the colors and shades to use.

The challenges that Frida faced throughout her life were enough to bring down any strong man - but not Frida! Whenever she had to face a difficulty, she turned it into art, which is why her work is so strongly autobiographical. She feared no one and would submit to none; she was her own master. We hope that these Frida Kahlo art projects for kids show them why she is an icon and inspiration for women across the world and across ages.
