Biography
Mexican painter Frida Kahlo was the third of four daughters born to a German Hungarian father
and a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent. She did not originally plan to become an
artist. At age fifteen Kahlo entered the premedical program at the prestigious National
Preparatory School in Mexico City. However, this training ended three years later when Kahlo
was gravely injured in a bus accident. She spent more than a year in bed, recovering from
fractures of her back, collarbone, ribs, and pelvis, as well as shoulder and foot injuries. Despite
more than thirty subsequent operations, Kahlo spent the rest of her life in constant pain, finally
succumbing to related complications at age forty-seven.
During her recovery from the 1925 bus accident, Kahlo began to paint with oils. Her pictures,
mostly self-portraits and still lifes, were deliberately naïve and filled with the bright colors and
flattened forms of the Mexican folk art she always loved. At twenty-one, Kahlo met and fell in
love with the famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, whose approach to art and political
activism complemented her own. Although he was twenty years her senior, they were married in
1929. This high-profile relationship survived marital infidelities on both sides, the pressures of
Rivera’s career, a divorce and remarriage, and Kahlo’s deteriorating health. Kahlo traveled with
Rivera to the United States and to France, where she encountered luminaries from the worlds of
art and politics. She had her first one-woman exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in
1938. She was in numerous group exhibitions throughout her life and, just prior to her death, was
honored by a retrospective exhibition at Lola Álvarez Bravo’s Galería de Arte Contemporáneo in
Mexico City.

Scope and Content
The Nelleke Nix and Marianne Huber Collection: The Frida Kahlo Papers consists of 369 letters,
postcards, notes, clippings, printed matter, and drawings related to the life and work of Frida
Kahlo. Multi-page correspondence constitutes the majority of the collection. A small group of six
drawings is also present, although four of these drawings have not yet been authoritatively
attributed to Kahlo’s hand. The collection ranges in dates from 1930 to 1954, with the bulk of
material dating between 1930 and 1935. A significant portion of the collection is a group of
letters between Kahlo and her family, most notably her mother and father. The content of these
letters is intimate and tracks some of the most formative years of Kahlo’s artistic development.
They reflect her impressions of the United States as well as her opinions on politics, art, and the
art world as she traveled with husband Diego Rivera to San Francisco, Detroit, and New York.
Other significant correspondents represented in the collection are Juan O’Gorman, Walter
Pach, Emmy Lou Packard, Ella and Bertram Wolfe, Mary Sklar, Lucienne Bloch, and Diego Rivera.
This collection is divided into three series:
Series 1:
Series 2:

Series Descriptions
Series I: Correspondence, 1930-1954 and undated
This series contains correspondence between Frida Kahlo and her family, friends, artistic
acquaintances, business associates, and others. The series is arranged at the folder level by the
surname of the correspondent or the organizational name (in the case of corporate
correspondents). For each correspondent or organizational name, folders and letters are
arranged chronologically. The series also contains a small number of handwritten receipts of
sale, five poems by Guillermo Kahlo as well as two works of prose by unidentified individuals.
Series II: Drawings, 1944, ca. 1951 and undated
This series consists of pencil and ink drawings of various subjects. They are arranged first by artist,
then by title, although each title is merely descriptive and not assigned by the artist. Some of the
drawings may be from Kahlo, but they have not been authoritatively attributed to her hand. This
series also contains two child-like renderings by Antonio Kahlo and an individual identified only
as Manuel.
Series III: Printed Matter, 1931-1932, 1944, and undated
This series consists of a small amount of material relating to trips, exhibition invitations, and
clippings from magazines and newspapers. These are organized by descriptive title.
Provenance
The collection was given by Frida Kahlo to Dr. Leo Eloesser, her friend and medical advisor. The
date of this transfer is unknown; however, the vintage of the correspondence contained in the
collection indicates this must have happened in the early 1950’s. Eloesser retained custody of
the collection after Kahlo’s death. Upon the death of Eloesser in 1976, the collection passed to
his personal secretary, Ms. Josefa Vera Rodriguez. It remained in her possession until 1996, when
it was sold to Nelleke Langhout Nix and Marianne Huber. The collection was appraised by Louis
Collins of Seattle, WA in December 2006 and donated by Nelleke Langhout Nix to the National
Museum of Women in the Arts in January 2007. Supporting documentation for this custodial
history is located in the collection dossier housed in the museum archivist’s office.
Conditions Governing
Physical Access
The collection is open for research use upon appointment. All researchers will be supervised
carefully during use of the collection.
All materials are in excellent condition with minimal folds, fading, or brittleness. Some letters in
Series 2 exhibit water damage and bright pink splotches, which seem to indicate active mold;
however, closer examination reveals none of the other indicators of mold, such as surface
fuzziness or acrid scent. Each leaf has been separately sleeved in mylar to isolate any possible
spores. Photocopies of the collection are prohibited. Researchers wishing to obtain electronic
facsimile of any portion of the collection must consult the archivist.
Materials are almost entirely in Spanish. Some materials in English, French, and German are also
present.
Conditions Governing
Reproduction and Use
Copyright restrictions may apply to any portion of the collection. Banco de Mexico presently
holds copyright to all of Frida Kahlo’s artistic and literary output, including unpublished
manuscripts and letters.

Processing
The collection was received in 14 bound portfolios prepared by the donor [Nelleke Nix] and
titled by groups of correspondents or loose series description. The donor had sleeved most of the
items in polyester or mylar and had prepared an item-level inventory. The collection was
received in excellent condition. During processing, all items were removed from the portfolios
and each leaf was sleeved individually in mylar or polyester. All materials were separated into
three series and placed in acid-free folders. The collection is housed in four acid-free manuscript
boxes located in the Library and Research Center. Collection was reprocessed in March 2012 by
Jennifer Page.
