The life of Frida Kahlo and her influence on women today
Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Calderón was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico City and died on July 13, 1954, her parents were Guillermo Kahlo and Matilde Calderón, her spouse was the painter Diego María de la Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de La Rivera and Barrientos Acosta and Rodríguez.
Frida was a painter recognized in the twentieth century, her suffering and her pain took her to her fame, since she was just a girl she began her suffering, her paintings used them to express her feelings, ideas and thoughts.
When Frida was 6 years old (1910), polyomyelitis that is a virus that attacks the spinal cord and causes muscle atrophy and paralysis contracted and this caused a lot of physical and muscular pain for a lifetime, its leg and right foot suffered malformations that keeping rest for 9 months and how they did not end up and because they were deformed forever, this and an accident that he had in his youth led her to be led her to spend a long time prostrated in a bed, she was subjected to 32 operations.
The battle against the sequels of polyomyelitis made her lean rather for sports activities: the more she moved and the more physical exercise she did, the better their chances of recovery.
After studying high school, he entered the National Preparatory School, she wanted to study natural sciences and be a doctor, in the high.
Frida had a boyfriend at 18, he was called Alejandro Gómez Arias, he studied right and was the leader of the group "Cachuchas" and he was the journalist, on September 17, 1925 she and her boyfriend went home and on the bus that They were an accident was overwhelmed by a tram, spent a month in the hospital and after that month 3 months in bed, then they took it again to the hospital because when the accident just passed the doctors did not take X -rays from their column, and It was when they realized that he had the column fractured in three parts, the two ribs, the clavicle and the pelvic bone and had to be 9 months at rest.
I work as an apprentice in the printing press of Fernando Fernández Domínguez, she learned to draw records of Anders Zorn.
With this accident she began to show more interest in painting, and her parents sent her a special easel that could be supported on her bed so she could paint on the canvas, she had a mirror in the headboard of her bed so that I could do its self-portraits.
So that she could heal it did not have to move so much, and because I make the decision to make self-portraits in 1926 I painted her first portrait that I dedicate to Alejandro Gómez Arias who was the first love of her life, then in 1927 I painted the portrait from Miguel n. She lira who in the background had things related to her name and then that of her sister Cristina with pure lines and soft tones.
She was the author of approximately 143 works 55 were self-portraits, in them she embodied her difficulties in life to survive, she said she painted herself because she was the person who knew the most, so, what better model than her to give her is touch in his style to that symbolic pain.
At the end of 1927 and early 1928 she was already almost 100% recovered and joined a group with more artists, to learn from the new art style that had arrived in Mexico that was based on roots with folklore.
He met again with his colleagues from the University and in 1928 a fellow German German presented her to a group of young people who were in contact with Julio Antonio Mella he was an exiled Cuban in Mexico, he had a lover she was Tina Modotti photographer, thank you, thank you She met Diego, but she described him as "the second great accident of my life".
This seemed an artistic demonstration with quality and originality. Diego Rivera was one of the most important axes in the existence of Frida, this was the one who approved her paintings, the one who fell in love with her despite the fact that the two were adventurers, Frida Bisexual and Diego Womaniego.
They married August 21, 1929. His marriage consisted of love, adventures with other people, creative bond, hate and a divorce in 1940 that only lasted one year. The marriage came to call the union between an elephant and a dove because Diego was huge and very fat while she was small and thin.
It was a very liberal relationship, both were very rebellious to fulfill a promise of loyalty and fidelity. But for Frida this marriage was very painful, because she tried to change Diego, but she could not, so much so that she had to get used to the constant adventures of her husband and she on her part of her have her own.
She had 4 abortions because in spite of everything she spent in her childhood and her youth affected her. Her abortions also inspired her, since she caused him a depression for not being a mother.
The divorce was caused thanks to the fact that one of her infidelities was told was with her younger sister and she could not bear is
He was the idea that she was dressed in traditional Mexican clothes that were long dress-Mexicans and exotic jewelry and she is an example for many women today so much that to date is still being used
For being a woman with revolutionary political ideas. Frida militated in the Communist Party and was leftist activist. She defended the cause of indigenous people in Mexico.
She is also very recognized for being the symbol of the women who suffer, because they felt identified, since she had suffered a lot. This helps the woman see that if you can get ahead and that there is equality between men and women.
For her influence on the ideology and vision of women today, which she is characterized by breaking the image of the submissive woman and dedicated to the home. Let’s see that the woman is not done anything else for home tasks, but also to go to work and be able to take money to their homes.
Also for her revolutionary activism, for her sexual freedom, and for touching in her work taboo themes of the time such as pain, abortion, heartbreak.
I fight inequality against inequality, injustice and gender violence.
conclusion
Frida until today is an example for many women I think not only Mexican but worldwide, and every woman who interests her a bit of Mexican culture will know who was Frida Kahlo, that despite all problems, struggles, diseases, diseases And everything that can happen to us can move on that this is not to be an obstacle to people, that we should not depend on a man that a woman alone can get ahead that we are all equal and that we have the same opportunities , she is an example of overcoming, he showed all of Mexico and the world that when you want to succeed, you can succeed.
