Remembering Frida
Frida Kahlo, daughter of Guillermo and Matilde, lived in Coyoacán for her whole life. She had a horrible accident in which she fractured her spine and part of her hip. She married Diego Rivera, couldn’t have children, and painted her self-portrait in myriad forms, because she was her own best muse. She was controversial, loving, full of pain, and images that all the world calls surreal. She became an icon in Mexican culture, but one of the best images of those that survive, and one that not everyone has seen, was taken a month before her death. It is an image of Frida in her wheelchair, attending a 1954 protest, yelling with the crowd. She had accompanied Diego and other comrades to a march protesting American intervention in Guatemala. With a scarf on her head and her fist raised, Frida never stopped being who she was. She died at forty-seven.
