About Mexican female painter Frida?

Frida 1907 was born in Mexico City and is the third daughter in the family. Her father is a photographer of Hungarian Jewish descent and was born in Germany. Mother is descended from Spanish and American Indians. She suffered physical injuries for a long time in her life. He got polio at the age of six and has been a kidnapper ever since. However, in her teens, Frieda was a fearless tomboy, which made her father especially like her. Her father has an enlightened idea about her education. She was taken to the preparatory hospital on 1922. This is the best preparatory school in Mexico. At that time, I just started recruiting girls. Frieda is one of 35 girls among 2000 boys. It was in this school that Frida met her future husband, diego rivera, one of the three outstanding figures of Mexican mural movement. He just returned from France and was entrusted to do murals here. Frida was deeply attracted by him. Because she didn't know how to face the sudden feelings, she teased him and joked with him, trying to make the painter's wife jealous. 1925, Frieda experienced the biggest accident in her life, which changed her fate. On September 17, Freda's bus collided with a tram. Her spine was broken into three parts, her cervical vertebra was fractured, her right leg was severely fractured and one foot was crushed. A metal handrail passed through her abdomen, and this accident made her lose her fertility efforts, and she will also be accompanied by the pain of Mingxin for a lifetime, although it took her a long time to face all this. She later described the accident that made her lose her fertility in a typical black humor way: "It made me lose my virginity". Years later, her boyfriend still shudders when he recalls: "The violent collision tore her clothes. Someone in the car was carrying a bag of gold powder ... her bloody body was covered with gold powder. " For a whole month, she was covered in plaster and lying in a box like a coffin. No one will believe that she will survive. 1926, she drew the first self-portrait in the process of recovery from illness, and began to record herself, her life and her feelings by painting. 1928, Frida once again met Rivera whose marriage had just broken down. They found that apart from the same political views (both of them were active supporters of productism at this time), they had too much in common, so they formally got married in August 1929. Frieda later said: "I have experienced two unexpected fatal blows in my life, one was to knock down my streetcar and the other was to meet Rivera." Many mural projects were forced to stop because of the gradual deterioration of the political climate in Mexico for left-wing sympathizers. 1930, Mr. and Mrs. Rivera came to the United States, first to San Francisco, and then to new york, and held a retrospective exhibition of Rivera held by the Museum of Contemporary Art. During this period, Frida was only regarded as a charming foil of a great painter, but the situation changed quickly. 1932, Rivera was entrusted to create murals for Detroit Museum, during which Frieda aborted. During the break, Freda painted an abortion in Detroit, which was the first true and keen self-portrait. Since then, she has developed a completely different style from her husband, mainly drawing nutrition from Mexican folk art and small altar paintings, which Rivera understands and respects. Since then, Frida has set out to create a series of artistic forms that have never been seen before in history, solemnly showing the true, realistic, cruel and bitter qualities of women. No one has ever written such a painful poem on the canvas of oil painting like Frida. She has undergone at least 32 major and minor operations. She lay motionless in bed for a whole year. During this period, she wore a corset made of leather, plaster and steel wire to support her spine. The couple returned to Mexico on 1935, and then Rivera and Frida's sister began to have an affair. Although they finally stopped quarreling, it became a turning point in their relationship. Rivera has never been loyal to any woman, and Frieda has since begun a complex relationship with many men and women. One of them is the surrealist Brayton. He arrived in Mexico from 6: 438 to 9: 38. He marveled at this country, calling it a "natural surrealist country", and also marveled at Frida's paintings. Partly because of him, Frieda held an exhibition in new york at the end of 1938, and Bretton wrote the preface himself. The exhibition was a great success, with half of the works sold. 1939, Braden suggested holding another exhibition in Paris. The exhibition was not very successful in business, but the reviews were good. The Louvre has a collection, which won the praise of Kandinsky and Picasso. However, Frida didn't like this surrealist who she called "the crazy son of a group of female wolves". She said, "They think I'm a surrealist, but I'm not. I never paint dreams, I talk about my own reality. " In the early 1940s, Frida divorced Rivera. The reason is still a mystery, although they still appear in public in pairs. Less than two months later, they remarried in America. One of the reasons may be that Rivera realized that Frieda's health would deteriorate mercilessly and someone had to take care of her. This Mexican female painter, "Winged Angel", held her first solo exhibition in the last year of her life. At that time, she was disabled and was carried into the gallery with a colorful big bed. She smiled: "Please note that this body is still alive." She is surrounded by countless admirers-of course, this is the scene in the opening film Frida in Venice in 2002, which is far from summarizing the real scenery and pain of Frida's life.

However, this maverick woman is destined to attract attention. Under her gorgeous Mexican headdress, two thick eyebrows almost in a line became her unique symbol. Many famous lovers and admirers of men and women and countless romantic stories also made her famous. Frieda is always the most eye-catching in social circles. She likes drinking tequila, partying, cursing, kissing and dancing with women. When she arrived in Paris, Picasso hosted a banquet for her and appeared on the cover of Vogue. However, the pain still stubbornly devoured her life. After her first exhibition, Frida had to amputate her right leg below the knee due to soft tissue necrosis. She also became extremely depressed and tried to commit suicide several times. The last sentence in her diary is: "I hope to die happily and don't want to come again."

Frida was threatened by tissue necrosis and removed his right leg below the knee joint, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to a person who carefully shaped his self-image. She tried to walk with artificial legs and even danced at a friend's celebration. But the end is coming. 1954 In July, she made her last public appearance in a pro-capitalist demonstration, which overthrew the left-wing president of Guatemala, Jacob Albens. Soon after, she died in her sleep, apparently by suffocation. Many close friends suspect that she committed suicide. In her last diary, she wrote: "I hope death is pleasant, and I hope never to come again." -Frieda. "
