"FRIDA ( 1907 - 1954 ) - a modern Mexican icon- was born in Mexico City in 1907, to a Hungarian-Jewish German father and a Spanish & Indigenous mother. Frida's life long battle with pain began early when she was stricken with polio, in 1925 during her convalescence after a serious bus accident that nearly killed her, Frida painted her first self-portrait. Frida's work had no precedent in the history of art - her paintings exalted the feminine quality of truth, reality, cruelty and suffering. What Frida described as her "second accident" was her marriage to famous Mexican Muralist Diego Rivera. Filled with love, betrayal and suffering due to Diego's endless womanizing affairs,Frida began a series of love affairs-including one with exiled communist leader Leon Trotsky. Frida-a communist til the end, her last public appearance was at a demonstration protesting the US led coup that overthrew the democratically elected Guatemalan president, Jacobo Arbenz. At her request-her coffin was drapped with the communist flag. Her last diary entry read: 'I hope the end is joyful - and I hope never to come back - Frida.'"
