"Tens muita razão, eu não sou tranquila. Sou fogo, sou vida, sou cor. Sou essência, sou prazer, sou rebeldia, sou instinto, sou pele, sou revolução."

Photography had always been a part of Frida Kahlo's life since she was born. Her father Guillermo Kahlo was one of the great Mexican photographers at the beginning of the twentieth century.
When Kahlo died in 1954, her husband Diego Rivera asked the poet Carlos Pellicer to turn her family home, the fabled Blue House (La Casa Azul), into a museum. Pellicer selected some paintings, drawings, photographs, books, and ceramics, maintaining the space just as Kahlo and Rivera had arranged it to live and work in. The rest of the objects, clothing, documents, drawings, and letters, as well as over 6,000 photographs collected by Kahlo over the course of her life, were put away in bathrooms that had been converted into storerooms.
This incredible trove remained hidden for more than half a century, until just over a decade ago when these storerooms and wardrobes were opened. Among these finds, Kahlo's photograph collection was a major revelation, bearing testimony to the tastes and interests of the famous couple not only through the images themselves, but also through the telling annotations inscribed upon them. (Summarized from the publisher’s notes)
Today is Frida Kahlo’s birthday. She was born inCoyoacán in Mexico City on July 6, 1907, and died in Coyoacán on July 13, 1954.

Frida Kahlo is arguably Mexico’s most famous artist. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society.
Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity outside of European colonialism, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist.
Although she was disabled by polio as a child, Kahlo had been a promising student headed for medical school until a traffic accident at age eighteen, which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems. During her recovery, she returned to her childhood hobby of art with the idea of becoming an artist.
Kahlo's interests in politics and art led to her joining the Mexican Communist Party in 1927, through which she met fellow Mexican artist Diego Rivera.
Kahlo's work as an artist remained relatively unknown until the late 1970s, when her work was rediscovered by art historians and political activists. By the early 1990s, she had become not only a recognized figure in art history but also regarded as an icon for Chicanos, the feminism movement, and the LGBT movement. She had a tumultuous relationship with her husband, Diego Rivera. Both had a number of affairs — some sanctioned and some on the sly. They even divorced for a year and then remarried. Her lovers included a diverse selection of men and women, many of them well-known thinkers and artists in their time. Over the years, she had affairs with Leon Trotsky, Josephine Baker, Chavela Vargas, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Isamu Noguchi.

''İyileşmek mi?'' dedi Frida. ''Ama ben hasta değilim ki. Kırık döküğüm. Aynı şey değil, anlıyor musunuz?''
