Milestones of Art

Meer over het boek

Frida Kahlo, known as the "Daughter of the Mexican Revolution," faced immense physical pain following a severe traffic accident at 18, which influenced her art and life. Despite enduring chronic illness, she produced around 70 self-portraits, often painting during her times of sickness. While she sought excitement in life, her tumultuous relationship with Diego Rivera contrasted sharply with her own experiences, as she had to navigate her romantic encounters discreetly in a society that upheld strict gender norms.
