Who was Frida Kahlo? / Facts
- Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home, which is known as "La Casa Azul," the Blue House

- Mexican culture and tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as naïve art or folk art
- Her work has also been described as surrealist, and in 1938 André Breton, principal initiator of the surrealist movement, described Kahlo's art as a "ribbon around a bomb"
- Frida rejected the "surrealist" label imposed by Breton, as she argued that her work reflected more of her reality than her dreams
- Kahlo had a volatile marriage with the famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera
- She suffered lifelong health problems, many of which were caused by a traffic accident she survived as a teenager
