Frida Kahlo was born in Coyoacán, Mexico to her father, Wilhelm Kahlo, and mother, Matilde Calderón y Gonzales.

Frida Kahlo later says that she was born on the date of the Mexican Revolution to possibly cut back her age, or add significance to her birth date.

Frida was in a bus on a ride home from school, when a trolley car hit them. Frida suffered multiple broken bones and other injuries. She spent a few months to recover.

This portrait of Frida was a gift to her boyfriend,Alejandro Gomez Arias after he broke up with her. In this painting she is standing in a graceful pose, trying to win her former boyfriend back. She looks like she is trying to be lady-like and maybe mysterious as well.
-
Frida married Diego Rivera in the town hall of Coyoacán.
-
This painting is a self portrait of Frida's young and beautiful form. She expresses her friendship with her pet spider monkey named, Fulang-Chang. I think she also wanted to show herself in a young and happy way through this painting.
-
This portrait was a gift to Leon Trotsky for his birthday, after the affair he had with Frida. In this painting, I think Frida is trying to express her beauty and confidence to Trotsky. She also is holding a note that says the painting is meant for him.
-
This photo represents the open marriage of Frida with her husband, Diego, and his girlfriend Paulette. The hummingbird represents how fragile Frida is, and the bumble bee represents Diego stinging her.
-
This portrait was painted soon after the remarriage of Frida and Diego Rivera. This is an uplifting painting of Frida holding her pet parrots, which I think matches her happy mood. She seems to be proud and strong in this painting.
-
Frida painted this portrait when her love, Diego Rivera, was having an affair with Maria Felix. It looks as though she is broken and sad to know about the affair. She also looks like she cannot get Diego off of her mind.
-
When Frida Kahlo died, she left many notes and paintings to her friends and family.
