THE BIRTH OF AN ARTIST
The remarkable life of Frida Kahlo began on July 6th 1907, in Coyoacan, Mexico, where she was born to a German father and a Mexican mother of Spanish and Native American (Mestiza) descent. Her own story is inextricably intertwined withthe Mexican Revolution, which began when Frida was just three years old in 1910. Interestingly, Frida often claimed her birth year as 1910, aligning herself symbolically with the revolution and all it came to represent to the Mexican people.
