The Arsenal - Frida Kahlo Distributes Arms
(1928)
1886-1957
He was a
Mexican Social
Realist Muralist.
Social Realism is
a form of
naturalistic
realism focusing
specifically on
social problems
and the
hardships of
everyday life.
As a member of
the Mexican
Communist Party,
Rivera remained
loyal to the
revolutionary
cause all his life,
as is illustrated
in many of his
paintings.
Frida Kahlo,

wife, was
Diego's great
admirer, and she

revolutionary
feelings.

Frida's life began and ended
in Mexico City, in her home
known as the Blue House..
Frida Kahlo was involved in a
serious bus accident . For a
month, Frida was forced to
stay flat on her back,
encased in a plaster cast
and enclosed in a boxlike
structure.
Frida's enormous strength
and will to live allowed her
to survive and make a
remarkable recovery. She
began painting shortly after
the accident because she
was bored in bed. This
became her lifelong
profession.
Frida let out all of her
emotions on a canvas. She
painted her anger and hurt
over her stormy marriage,
the painful miscarriages,
and the physical suffering
she underwent because of
the accident.
Frida began wearing the
traditional Mexican clothing,
which consisted of long,
colorful dresses and exotic
jewelry. This, along with
Frida's thick, connecting
eyebrows, became her
trademark.
