"I hope the exit is joyful - and I hope I never come back"
Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo is one of the most extraordinary, revealing female Mexican artist of the twentieth century.
- She brings together the Surrealist style of painting into her world of pain, struggle and love. She used painting to overcome her painful healing process from a bus accident and developed some of the most fantastic and vulnerable works of art.
