Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo.
Her disability forced her to give up her ambitions of becoming a doctor. Your salvation? Art. To help their daughter cope with her accident, her parents ordered a custom-made easel that she could use while lying down. Self-portraits occupy a very important place in her work. They make up about 55 of the 150 works she painted. By making herself the subject, she expresses her suffering. Painting thus becomes a voice of her pain. Decades before the selfie, she revolutionized the self-portrait in a unique and intimate way.
