Frida Kahlo Biography - DVD

She was a striking presence who commanded attention in person and in her work. Her life was a collage of extraordinary emotions and accomplishments, and her art reflects the intensity of her experience.

She is famed for many things: her tempestuous, lifelong romance with Diego Rivera; her prolific output, dominated by self-portraits; her insatiable appetites and debilitating injuries. From her birth in the "blue house" to her death, perhaps by suicide, less than 50 years later, BIOGRAPHY® explores the remarkable life of Frida Kahlo. See how she came to painting while convalescing from a horrific accident, and how she suffered from the consequences of her injuries throughout her life. Visit famed collections of her work, and hear from the artists who knew her, and those she inspired.
