Frida Kahlo
- 1988 ----- color ----- 62 min ----- vhs
- Frida Kahlo lived and worked at the center of the Mexican Renaissance in the 20's and 30's. At the age of 16, she was involved in an accident that left her in constant pain. Her paintings reflect the continual struggle with her ravaged body. Kahlo was hailed as a Surrealist by the artist Andre Breton, who described her art as "playing alternately at being absolutely pure and absolutely pernicious." For her husband, the Cubist and muralist Diego Rivera, her painting "was the greatest proof of the Renaissance of the art of Mexico."
