She painted many self portraits. "I paint self portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best." She also painted works inspired by the natures and artifacts in Mexico. Frida is known as a "mad" artist. She is described as having a "tortured" mind. "Her paintings demand, fiercely, that you look at her." - Hayden Herrera]]> 2018-09-11 02:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/emmawalker1738/4z0ckszgt6gq/wish/279678730 emmawalker1738 https://padlet.com/emmawalker1738/4z0ckszgt6gq/wish/279679306 The cause of Frida's death was given as a pulmonary embolism.

She dropped the "e" in her name around 1935. She was in a bus accident when she was 18 and had to have 35 operations so that she could recover from it. ]]> 2018-09-11 02:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/emmawalker1738/4z0ckszgt6gq/wish/279679677 emmawalker1738 https://padlet.com/emmawalker1738/4z0ckszgt6gq/wish/279680148 Frida's mother's name was Matilde Calderon y Gonzalez and her father's name was Guillermo Kahlo. Frida was closest to her father. She had 5 sisters, 2 older half sisters and 3 others between her mother and father. The 2 half sisters were from her father's first marriage. Frida claimed to be born in 1910, when the Mexican Revolution began, so that people would directly associate her with the revolution. Frida suffered from spina bifida and, at age six, contracted polio, leaving her right leg thinner than her left. She hid that by wearing long skirts. A few days before she passed, Frida wrote in her diary: "I hope the exit is joyful - and I hope never to return." Many of her works of art, and her ashes, are located in her former home (The Blue House), in Coyoacan, which is now a museum. ]]> 2018-09-11 02:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emmawalker1738/4z0ckszgt6gq/wish/279680148
