Abstract

Frida Kahlo was a great artist who was part of the generation of the Mexican reborn, who from a very young age discovered that her greatest passion and skill was painting. But not just any kind of painting, but the personal vision and feeling of seeing the world from her eyes. In this text we will know the life that the artist had, we will analyze the context that she lived in order to understand her surrealist works that represent an "art folck" or art for the people, where she managed to capture the popular Mexico. We will enter an autobiographical pictorial world that had not been seen before and even less in the hands of a woman like Frida Kahlo.
