In this episode, we journey through Frida Kahlo's vibrant and often painful life. We begin with her childhood in the famous "Blue House" in Coyoacán, Mexico, and the bout of polio that left her with a permanent limp. We then follow her to the National Preparatory School, where she was one of only a few female students, and the devastating bus accident that would change the course of her life and her art. Witness her turn to painting during her recovery and the development of her unique and deeply personal style. Discover her tumultuous and passionate relationship with the great muralist Diego Rivera, their travels to the United States, and their shared political activism. Explore the profound physical and emotional suffering she expressed in her work, from the raw honesty of "The Broken Column" to the duality of "The Two Fridas." We also cover her fierce independence, her embrace of traditional Mexican culture, and her enduring legacy as a feminist icon and one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century.
