The famous artist Frida Kahlo documentary: Frida Kahlo was an amazing artist. Her work explores issues that affected herself with honesty and integrity, which is why her paintings are held in such high regard. She was born in Coyoacan, Mexico City in 1907. Frida Kahlo contracted polio when a toddler and was involved in a major traffic accident when in her teens. Both events had a profound effect on her life and work . Her paintings often explore the consequences of these events. Frida married the artist Diego Rivera, twice, and had a turbulent relationship with him. The video explores her whole life and the paintings that she produced. No other artist has explored their own feelings and emotions with such honesty and frankness as Frida Kahlo.

Her life story makes me cry, I can't help it. I was born in Mexico and grew up there the firsts years of my life. I recall walking downtown Mexico City and walking into an exhibition of her work. I believe that's when my admiration for painting started.
She lived so intensely, all her emotions were so intense and she reflected it so well in her work!
She was a great painter. I know of no one who explored the human condition as intensely as she did.
..yes, agree, i read somewhere not long ago, that there is rumour she commited suicide. I don't think she/they were happy people..😐
Freda was gifted with so much talent when a thought entered her mind ins antly it was transported to her next painting. RIP AND TY SO MUCHFOR ALL YOUVE CREATED FOR THIS WORLD.
Just "selfies" waiting for social media to happen.. 🤟😎
I'm very fortunate to have seen several of her and Diego's paintings up close and personal............I love both of their works!!!!
You are very lucky.
Are you saying this in "English accent"?
@@maganlal5355 huh?
several years ago i saw a movie with salma hayek playing frida...now i see this and understand how accurate the movie was to the real life frida...if we all faced the reality of life instead of creating an illusion of such we would be a much better place... her paintings are intriguing to say the least...
I think you are very right. Cheers
that still is my favorite movie.

I am now enriched. I had never heard of Frida Kahlo. I love painting and have gone to many of the worlds great art museums. But for some reason Frida was missed in my explorations. I may have seen her work but had no idea of her overall work. No more! I will look for her work from now on. Thanks!

Hello from North Carolina and thanks for making these wonderful videos!
Really pleased you enjoy the videos, cheers from England.
i ENJOYED TO LISTEN AND HEAR ABOUT THE LIFE OF FRIDA KAHLO! UP UNTIL MY BEAUTIFUL HAIRDRESSER HAS HER PICS ON HER WALL IN S.A. I NEVER KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL ARTISTIC WOMAN WHO DID NOT HAVE A VERY HAPPY LIFE! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOLE, THANKS KYLIE FOR SHARING HER BIOGRAPHY AND LETTING ME KNOW!
You are welcome
An extraordinary artist and personality !!!
She certainly was
The painting of "all the religions under the sun" is fascinating. Id never seen it before. Her later work didnt look careless to me, I find it beautiful. She was an amazingly creative being. "I hope the exit is joyous and I hope never to return".
I love it; shes referring to leaving the body which had been a torturous trap for so long and
the last part "and I hope never to return" shows that she knew about re incarnation and hoped she never would again, she had suffered enough . A great woman, a great artist, a great soul .
The film "Frida" is a fine exposition of her life, beautifully filled with her and Diego's paintings and is an accurate description of her life , as in this video. The special effects used to show each new painting as she created it are fascinating .
She certainly was a great artist. Cheers
I love your videos!!! Thank you!
Glad you like them! Cheers
fascinating, I am looking forward to more of your videos
I have many more on my channel and a new one on Mary Cassatt later this week. Cheers
Thank you for the video.
You are welcome
Wonderful! I didn't discover the work of Frida until I was my 40's. Her passionate, determination and courage is self evident in this short and thought provoking documentary of her life.
She was a a brilliant artist, glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers Paul

Amazing!!!!!!! Thank you!
You're so welcome! Cheers
Fascinating ❤️
Cheers
I love your videos and my daughter too ! Thank you ❤🤗
That's wonderful. Cheers Paul
Excellent biography. I hadn't known or understood the extant of her surgeries & extreme suffering. However, her paintings portray that. So even though she is known as a surrealist painter, what she portrayed was purely her reality.
Thank you, she was a much underestimated painter.
“Frida had enough of America and Americans”
After these past 4 years, I feel the same way.
I know what you mean, amazing how one individual can cause such mayhem.
Her disliking America and Americans could merely be due to cultural differences, or through the lens of the communist ideology she clearly held dear. I don't know about you but someone who paints Hitler into a wall of heroes, to me doesn't have good judgement.
@@sooz5703 I'm no expert on Kahlo's life or work & don't know why she included Hitler as a subject in this painting, although there's no doubt she wasn't an admirer or supporter of Hitler or his views. The inclusion of his portrait in the painting was probably due to complex reasons which might be analyzed if one thoroughly studied her life & work, but it is certain she was no fascist or Nazi. Also, her view of the Native peoples of Mexico & their art from pre-Hispanic times would preclude any form of extreme racism. In fact, she & Diego deeply admired native cultures of both past & present. Their views on this matter were fairly close to the popular view that was developing for several decades after the Mex. Revolution, a view adopted by the state as well. This is a very complex view which can't be defined or explained here for lack of space. Many books have been written on this. But in brief, many artists & writers were a part of the post-revolutionary movement that supported the view that Mexicans were a new 'race', a new people, born from the mixture of ancestry that arose after the 1521 conquest of Tenochtitlan (now Mex. City, formerly the center of the Aztec civilization & state). That is, combined ancestry of many peoples, including Spanish, Aztec-Mexico & other native peoples, African (from the Moors who accompanied the early Spaniards to Mex., as well as the Africans brought as slaves to Mex.), the idea being that a new people ('race') was born. (This idea is called 'La Raza', & there are many books on the subject, also there were & are many views on the subject.) In many ways a new culture did arise after 1521, & though the Spanish were the dominant class & rulers, the new culture inherited much from the Aztec & other native cultures.
To understand Kahlo's view of the US, a general knowledge of US/Mexico history is needed. The US had repeatedly interfered with the politics inside Mexico, attempting to force the post-revolutionary (1920 on) gov. to submit policies favoring US corporate interests. The 'banana republic' form of gov. instituted by the US in Central Am. was in full sway during those years, with the US largely controlling various nations in the region. Mexico, as a socialist state born from both the Euro. forms of socialism & the Native Mexican peoples' forms of socialism, was struggling to maintain independence from US interference (both governmental & corporate) during the decades following the revolution.
There was mention in the video of the overthrow of the gov. of Guatamala, but nothing was said about how the US (with heavy corporate pressure) had the freely elected president of Guatamala overthrown by violence, in its place installing a puppet rulership of the military junta that ruled Guatamala for decades afterwards. This junta not only persecuted the native peoples of Guatamala, it followed a policy of outright genocide against the Indians of Guatamala that didn't end till into the 1980s, with millions of Native Guatemalans dead as a result. As Guatamala borders Mexico & as many Guatamalans are of Maya ancestry & related to Maya peoples of Mexico, Kahlo would have known what was happening there. Even in '80 when I traveled in the Yucatan Pen. by bus to near the border with Guat., the ongoing terror of the genocide was clear to anyone who had even a brief glimpse of the situation near the border. Many Maya live in that region of Mex. & the fear these people felt was very apparent even to a visitor like myself, although I spent only half a day in the bus depot in a small village. Refugees from Guat. were pouring into Mexico, mostly illegally, & their Mex. relatives were trying to help. The US was still supporting the genocidal junta in Guatamala until a few yrs later that support waned because of international outrage at the continuing.genocide.
The situation on other nearby nations was very similar--both direct & indirect support by the US had resulted in US-puppet rule & genocide of native peoples.
In the US, little was reported on what was happening in Guat. & other nearby nations, even at the height of the genocide in Guat., but it received wide coverage in Mexico & elsewhere. The point is, in the US we don't get much coverage of events that primarily affect indigenous peoples (within the US or in states to the south), & probably most Americans still don't know that the US overthrew the elected gov. of Guat. & installed a military junta which (with US support) waged a genocidal war against the Indian peoples of Guatemala for decades. Nor do most people here know about US involvement in El Salvador or other states, or about US involvement in Mexico in the 20th c. US interference in the region has received widespread coverage in Mexico though, as a rule for decades. Of course Kahlo would've been aware of these events. The US had interfered with the Mex. government both before. after the rev., & after '20 had interfered strongly to force Mexico to abandon the very changes at the heart of the revolution. Mexico's plan to fairly redistribute land to both the peasant class (peons who had long lived as near-slaves on the massive plantations/recomiendas owned by the ruling class & by the Church--this redistribution of the huge land holdings (awarded by Spain to the conquistadors & to the Church equally in the 1520s) was to be given to the peons & Indians who had worked that land. This redistribution of land was meant to end the systemic poverty of the majority, mainly people descended from the native peoples as well as from African & some Sp. ancestry, who were to form cooperatives to work the land & to fairly share the benefits. This redistribution began after '20 but was thwarted within a few years, the US having a hand of course. Kahlo, being a Marxist (or at least a Communist--she & other Marxists had supported Trotsky in defiance of USSR leadership & the Marxist Party), would have known of the US involvement that subverted the post-rev. aims & policies.
She could hardly have felt kindly.toward the US gov. & the corporate classes that had long dominated the states south of the border. Undoubtedly she would also have experienced the racism & prejudice so prevalent in the US toward people of color & toward 'Hispanic' people. (Not that Mexico was free of racism against Indians & Af-descent people, but it was usually less overt.)
@@janegarner6739 Ahh Jane. No offense but im not reading all that
Siento no poder contestarle no entiendo el Inglés pero es una excelente pintora mexicana
Love her I have been to her and Diego’s homes. Traveled all over Mexico lived there one summer beautiful artistic place Frida and Diego are Mexico City’s hero’s. My students always loved her art and her unibrow lol.
Wow, you lucky person. One day I'll get to Mexico. Cheers
EXCELLENT!!!
Cheers
Absolutely love it!
Thank you
Art History School: SOO INTERESTING!
Thanks
You're such an amazing narrator
Thank you, much appreciated. Cheers
Very interesting and well told.
Glad you enjoyed it
As a licensed massage therapist, I had several clients who unfortunately endured spinal fusion surgery. Every last one regretted it. I don't know what took me so long to realize, but that had to be what Frida had, as depicted in the related painting. It only gives me greater empathy and respect for her as a relentlessly honest creative professional with some of the greatest documented talent ever seen in one individual. Interestingly, I was just watching The Unexpected Gypsy right before this, and she mentioned a quote about turning roadblocks into stepping stones. Boy, did Frida ever do that, and in spades!!!
Just imagine what she might have done with the current trends of creating your own tarot deck. I don't think she would have appreciated AI at all, but digital tablets and styluses with Procreate or similar, perhaps. Also, for some reason I thought all Frida's pregnancies ended in miscarriage, but she had abortions, as well. So had she lived in a red state in the modern US, we might have lost her at a very young age to the consequences of her pelvic injury. It really puts things in perspective.
Thanks again, Paul. You do brilliant work. 💖💖💖
Many thanks. I think Frida is a much under rated artist. I doubt many people would have had her determination to succeed considering the traumas she had to endure.
Hi dear Paul. Thank you for this video and for sharing the bio of one of the most representative Mexican artists. Talking about that, can you make a video of Remedios Varo? Thanks in advance, love your channel, greetings from MX
Hi Leona, I must admit I hadn't heard of Remedios Varo. I have just looked her up. She produced some really interesting work. I shall have to explore further. Cheers
I love movie FRIDA ---- I could watch it over and over . Very nice program . I Enjoy it .
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Cheers Paul
Saw the movie where Salma Hayke acted as Frida ... Extraordinary women and extraordinary work... Very good documentation.

Love her work
She was a great artist.
I love her paintings. She is my inspiration . I love my Twin Georg.
She was a great painter
She was strong and faced adversity and loved Diego. She is like me in some ways. I see her in me😉❤️
Fantastic Frida!! Personally I love Diego's art because I am also a muralist and tend to paint what I see. Yet I admire the way Frida was authentic. Something I daily try to achieve
..
She certainly was authentic
@@ArtHistorySchool for sure! She set the stage for many ...
She is new to me. Thank you.
You are welcome
Awesome thanks

Beautiful work great artist

@@ArtHistorySchool thx cheers
A sad story...but well presented, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Really interesting. Thank you for a very informative video. I’d love to see information on Sonia Dalaunay. I taught an art lesson last year based on Robert Dalaunay’s work and am covering Sonia this year.
I have a long list of artists to cover but I'll add her to my list.
Amazing😍
Thank you! Cheers!
My favorite artist. You certainly did here justice. Thank you
She was a great artist, glad you liked the video. Cheers
Doing this for an art project we have at school. We must do a self portrait of ourselves sembalizing our day to day lives
(All online of course)
Good luck with your project
Shadow And rubert that sounds cool!

My wife and I visited La Casa Azul a few months ago, was amazing to see her life there.
I must admit I'd like to visit there too. Cheers Paul
great video, thanks for the information and the paintings, Frida was indeed a great artist. thanks for your very clear accent, your speech is completely understandable. im writing her biography in arabic, you have been a great help.
best wishes to you.
Wonderful, really pleased you have enjoyed the video and good luck with your biography of Frida. Charts Paul
@@ArtHistorySchool thanks Paul, ive just taken a look at you channel too and i like it so much, spotted my favorite artist Monet :-) and many others. will be following your videos.
Great! Thank you .
Cheers
@@ArtHistorySchool Cheers!
outstanding Sir
Many thanks
Fantastic you dedicated time to this Universal Female artist. Congratulations!
In my book she was a great artist, simple as that.
I am wary of fanatical belief in any form, but one cannot doubt that Frida Kahlo's political views drove her life and art forward. I have visited the Blue House, a very moving experience. Thank you for another great video!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I might get to the Blue House one day. Cheers
Beksinki would make for a good episode. Only my second of yours and already loving your channel. Frida was pretty special
She certainly was, much under-rated.
@@ArtHistorySchool how about beksinki.
I spent 20 years painting what people wanted to pay for and in those 20 years beksinki did only what he wanted. He had some fame before his unbelievable death but he will be known forever. Giger ...umm ??
Remarkable!
Cheers
