​​ Frida Kahlo ​

o Current City: N/a o Hometown: Coyocoán, Mexico City o Sex: Femae o Birthday: July 6th, 1907 o Political Views: Communist o Religious Views: Catholic o Bio: Frida Kahlo was born on July 6th, 1907 in Coyocoan, Mexico City, Mexico. She had a very close relationship with her father. Frida had three sisters. Their names were Matilde and Adriana, who were both older than her and Cristina, who was younger than her. At about age 6, Frida had a disease called polio, which is a very bad illness. Eventually she did recover but still walked with a limp because the disease affected her leg. In 1922 she attended the National Preparatory School. She was one of few girls to attend the school at this time. Here she met and watched Diego Rivera paint a mural. It has been said that Frida told a friend that she would someday have Rivera’s baby. However, Frida became romantically involved with a man named Gomez Arias at this time. When they were traveling together one day the bus they were on collided with a motor vehicle and Frida was badly injured. A rail went into her side and came out the other. Frida suffered from injuries to her spine and pelvis. She began painting after this accident. After returning home, Frida joined the Young Communist League and the Mexican Communist Party.  Eventually, Rivera and Kahlo became romantically involved and Rivera encouraged her paintings. Although they had some times when they were not together, the couple got back together many times before their final divorce, after which they still got back together. Frida paints self-portraits because she knows herself best. One of her most famous paintings is one called “The Two Fridas”. In this painting there are two pictures of Frida sitting down in two chairs holding hands. Other famous paintings include “The Broken Column” and “Henry Ford Hospital”. Both of these paintings represent her life. “The Broken Column” shows the struggles she went through after her accident and the other is about different struggles in her life such as her second miscarriage with Rivera’s child. o Favorite Quotations:"I paint self portraits because I am the person I know best." - Frida Kahlo - **__Relationships __** o Mother: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Matilda Kahlo o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Father: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Guillermo Kahlo o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Daughters: None o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Sons: None o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Brothers: None o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Sisters: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Matilde and Adriana (older) and Cristina (younger) - **__<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Likes and Interest __** o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Activities: Painting and drawing o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Interests: Painting, dawing, <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Young Communist League and the Mexican Communist Party o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Music: John Mayer o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Books:A Biography of Frida Kahlo by Hayden Herrara o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Movies: Frida (2002) o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Television: True Life - **__<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Education and Work __** o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">High School:None o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">College/University: Naional Prepratoy School o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Employer: Diego Rivera

This group would benefit her in several different ways. Not only can Frida see and learn from other works, but she can also be seen by others herself. Museums are a great way for all people, not just other artists to see your work and by joining this group Frida can have many people see her work. Rock painting: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Rock painting would be fun for Frida. If this style of art was introduced to her I think that Frida would enjoy it a lot. Frida could easily be taught different techniques for how to do this and would have a great time doing it. Rock painting is an excellent group for Frida because she is exposed to another form of art. Oil painter: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Oil painting is another activity in which I think Frida would get a lot of enjoyment out of. Frida is very skilled and oil painting would be another way that she can express herself. Oil painting is very similar to the style of painting which Frida did and would not be difficult for her to do. Oil painting would be a great group for Frida to join to expand her horizons on what types of work she does. Airbrushing: Airbrushing would be a good choice of a group for Frida to join as well.

Frida would be able to be see other work and have her work viewed as she entered into this field of art. Healthy females: This group would be good for Frida because she wuld want a foundation to help keep women healthy. Frida knows what it is like to have a terrible disease and she would want others to have the same chance of recovery as she did. Frida would be a very good member of this group and help women out as much as she possibly could. Frida would be able to put aside her artwork sometimes and help others because she knows she would want the help is she ever needed it. MexicoToday: Fida would be an active member of this group for seveal reasons. She is a ommunist who believes very strongly in her poltical views.

This group would be perfect for Frida because she could get her political ieas out and heard by others.

Quizzes: __How should you spend your summer?__ The result I got when taking this quiz was that I should spend my time with my friends. I am a social person who likes to have fun.

My friends and family are always fun to hang out with so this would be a great way for me to spend my summer. __What type of novel are you?__ __What way do you see the world?:__ __Which feeling are you?
