"The art of Frida Kahlo is a ribbon around a bomb." Andre Breton
If you're not familiar with Kahlo's life, let's just say it was quite tempestuous. She experienced a lot of pain, both physical and emotional. She said about her art, "My painting carries with it the message of pain."
Frida Kahlo is known for her self-portraits. "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best," Kahlo explained.

What an inspiration she was--she didn't let pain stop her from accomplishing so much in her life.
I will view that movie, I know very little about her. What passionate colors!
I watched Miss Potter recently. Have you seen it? A portrait of a very different artist. I liked the integration of her illustrations into the movie.
OMG, Beth, I LOVE your Polyvore collages. I just joined. You must teach me how to do this, ok?!? And I really like Frida, the movie and her art! Hugs, Silke
