Frida bags moon
Frida Tote bags. Very original mexican bag with the printed image of painter Frida Kahlo, plastic tissue, 40 x 30 cm.

Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. She gave her birth date as July 7, 1910, but her birth certificate shows July 6, 1907. Kahlo had wanted the year of her birth to coincide with the year of the outbreak of the Mexican revolution, because her life would begin with the birth of modern Mexico. At age 6, Frida was stricken with polio, which caused her right leg to appear much thinner than the other. It was to remain that way permanently. [6] Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.[7]

Mexican culture and Amerindian cultural tradition figure prominently in her work, which sometimes has been characterized as Naïve art or folk art. Her work has also been described as ''surrealist'', and in 1938 one surrealist described Kahlo as a ''ribbon around a bomb''

Kahlo had a stormy but passionate marriage with the prominent Mexican artist Diego Rivera.
