A powerful article reminding all of us what a towering icon Frida Kahlo is! I've been mesmerized by her life story since I encountered the gorgeous film Frida (played by Selma Hayek)--and to this day I'm mesmerized by her courage, style, romantic fierceness, and as you have underscored so beautifully in your post, her ability to transcend pain and create a compelling narrative for the world to embrace. Well done Robin!
Thank you, Gerry. I had known of these powerful paintings, of course, but it was fascinating to dig into her story and find the source of beauty grew out of such physical and debiliating pain.

So much strength!
I have a print of hers I keep in sight as a reminder. Brava.
Awesome reminder, Jill.
