FRIDA KAHLO......THE WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE......
Hello all today my blog fells emotional...Much awaited and anticipated. The journey of Frida kahlo
Well being a new girl in the city...I did not have any sort of idea about the legendary Frida Kahlo...What I can say...A women...A feminist...A revolutionist..A bravo..A fashionista..and AN ARTIST.....BORN ARTIST..
I am a die hard fan of art and visiting the exotic Museum of Frida Kahlo's house...Better the BLUE HOUSE..aka....LA CASA DE AZUL...(spanish)..made me mad like anything.Though its too late to blog down about her but pardon,,,Now I will let you ride a rollercoaster of Frida's Journey...
Frida was an enormous painter ,an artist who was born in 1907 and she was a Mexican indeed..Living her whole life in the hearts of this city she has bestowed her everything here..Through her art and messages..At her teenage ..she was broken with an accident where a bus collides in the street of Mexico..Several peoples were injured and it left Frida with several fatal injuries..an iron handrail impaled her through pelvis fracturing bone...arms ..ribs and collarbone..She was initially hospitalized but after several medications she became little bit better after that incident...the sense of handicapp was growing slowly but a pencil and a paper became her best friend then..
Frida was born in a family where her father was a renowned photographer.and she had two sisters..Being a joveal and an energetic girl she never gave up..
But the accident smashed her dream of becoming doctor..She suffered from serious fatigue till many years,, and she used to wear a plaster corset which can be seen still today in Frida's house..
The Xray report also identified the displacement of three vertebrae..
But the bravo Frida was not a girl to give up ...She started moving her career into medical illustrator that combined both science and art...Being an activist she joined Mexican Communist party..And from there her new era began,,,DIEGO RIVERA....
Diego Rivera was none other than the most notable famous artist and a Communist leader..His work paved Frida and frida asked him to judge her paintings so that she could pursue her career in that,,Being a fab of Diego Frida was moved by this person and slowly their chemistry became the talk of the town ...
Diego was 42 years then ..much senior to Frida and he was famous for being a WOMANIZER...Having two wives...Diego yet married Frida..And the couple was called as AN ELEPHANT WITH THE DOVE..
Frida and her paintings spoke much about the silence that was with her..Her paintings were praised all over then,..Diego was bowled over her art and creations...Despite an artist Frida was a fashion designer and a fashionista..Her sense of dressing was amazing...
At a glance i was bowled over into the museum ...At that era...how come one woman can be so so creative..despite being physically handicapp..Truth are the words that mental strength is the biggest strength,,,
The  concept of  puppet dance was created by  Frida..
Being a woman of  substance and being a loving  wife ...Frida was  never happy  with her lovelife..Its  very  sad that as  Diego was a  Womanizer who had  plenty of  relationships  but  still Frida was special and  respectful in his  eyes  as  always..
Then came a time  when Frida and  Diego got  seperated but destiny had  planned  something new..Few years later they  got  married  once again and THE  BLUE  HOUSE became the last place to breathe infor these  two  artists ...One  can go  mad  after visiting  around the  whole  house
Its  true  that  artists never  die...I  got  emotional  while feeling her..The  colours..the.brushes...the  puppets and  the  place where  Frida  used  to Paint was so lively..
In her last  counting days  she was getting worse and  it was  the  year  1954 when she  got  stuck to  severe  illness and  that caused her  death into....She  was  47  years  old,.During her era...she  became  one  of the  most renowned  artists  of  the  world..Her  paintings  were  applauded all  over..
Every person has some quotes in their life..But Frida was an example with herself..She often said, "Why i need a feet when I have wings to fly"
Yes She is alive...She is alive with her creations .and in THE BLUE HOUSE....
ART NEVER DIES...SO AS ARTISTS NEVER DIES..
