Frida Kahlo was born July 6, 1907 in Mexico City, Mexico, and died July 13, 1954. At age 18 she was severely injured in a bus crash, when an iron handrail pierced her pelvis, and she suffered agonizing pain for the rest of her life. Because she was so often bedridden, she arranged for a mirror to be placed above her bed, so she could paint self-portraits. Because she died at such a young age, her work was not well-known until her end years and after her death.
