    Diego was scum……he was the worst husband. Looking at the pictures I see Frida and Diego smoking in almost every one. Amy Winehouse’s autopsy listed Emphysema as one of her causes of death but her brother and family said bad decade long bulima weakened her. I feel that so many things weakened Frida too. Polio, smoking, chronic pain, abortions, syphillis, more operations, Diego’s infidelity with her sister destroying all foundations and imploding all relationships…if you can’t trust your family….who can you trust? Also the death of her beloved father….it all took a toll and weakened her. Her father’s accident induced epilepsy has a haunting chill to what would become the fateful awful day of the horrendous bus accident. Had they not gone back to get the umbrella a whole different life would have ensued for Frida and a possible marriage to her first love who pulled the bus handrail out of her……..Frida’s biographical art, her roots, her relationship with her animals and the art world and living a different way…turning away from$ and mindless consumption….the way she survived and still created despite her chronic pain. I loved the way she created her own beauty, and her own beauty standards….and was ravishing…as herself.

    Frida Kahlo is a brilliant artist. Equally important, she lived her life fully. The horrific bus accident which injured her fueled her creative passion for art and painting. Also, being in the shadow of famed painter Diego Rivera, never defined her. After seeing the excellent film, "Frida," with Salma Hayek and reading books about her, I learned more about her and her complicated relationship with Rivera. It was tumultuous. That said, there was love and mutual respect there. I admire Frida for her unrelenting courage, her sexual openness/bi-sexuality, and her free spirit. Thanks, Karine, for your deep dive into the iconic Frida Kahlo. ❤❤💚💚

      I don't know if I'd define her life as "depressing." Because despite her many surgeries, chronic horrific pain & short life, Frida lived life more than alot of 3 healthy people put together. As a chronic pain patient, two-time Cancer survivor who's had 29 surgeries & 4 organs removed...& a professional Artist myself...life is what you make it. I see your point though. Because chronic pain & surgeries DO suck. Most people think that people w/bad chronic pain get "used" to it. Quite the contrary. It wears a person down more & more over the years. Diego was a complete Douche but, she always followed her heart & chased her rainbows. 🌈 She definitely wasn't afraid to try anything. I think Frida knew deep down her life wouldn't be a long one, so she went for it all re: her Art, giving her love, time & attention when & to whom her heart was able to. Her art fascinates me. R.I.P. Frida, a life well lived! ❤

    Karine, when I was younger, I too thought negatively of Diego: I found his appearance revolting, his interest in younger women appalling, his emotional abandonment of his wife abhorrent. Now that I’m older, my opinion has tempered considerably - especially given that we didn’t witness the dynamics between the couple personally - and there is much that occurs in a marriage that no one but the partners are privy to. We don’t know what their expectations were of one another, the emotional underpinnings - nor how each reacted to their mutual infidelities.
    Considering the era in which they lived, Diego was highly tolerant of Freida’s eccentricities. He went to great lengths to arrange for her comfort, cater to her interests, and provide the means for her artistic expression. Arguably, his own celebrity (and their unique lifestyle) were the catalyst for Freida’s success ...many equally skilled artists wither into obscurity.
    I appreciate Freida’s talent far more than Diego’s, but given their values, I honestly don’t find either of their personalities appealing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Kahlo stires something significant within similar spirits. As a very troubled teen, i still made the necessary pilgrimage to her gallery when it arrived. Kahlo was a beautiful & extraordinarily complex being.

    If only the umbrella had not crossed her mind. I love her art it is completely unique from anything I have ever seen. One day I was in a restaurant eating with someone and a gentleman a young gentleman came up to me and said would you like to purchase a postcard. He handed me a little stack and as I looked through him I landed on Frida Kahlo, The picture of her that you showed with her arms crossed in front of her. I picked that postcard immediately and I still have it 30 years later. To me she represents survival and art to express beauty and pain. She disliked her looks but when I look at her I can only see beauty.

    Living in the Bay Area I find it fascinating that Frida and Diego spent time here. She really did have such a painful life but it’s inspiring how she was able to turn her broken heart into beautiful works of art. And she kept going no matter what.❤

I admired her perserverance through physical disabilities. A trailblazer indeed. Her Art was and is thought-provoking. Frida still continues to capture us with her unique take on the world. Bless Her Soul

    Frida; intriguing, beautiful, sad soul and a unique human being. Rivera; narcissistic, yet both toxic to one another and themselves. I will say that I'll never get tired of admiring her artwork or listening to her story.
