Frida Kahlo( The famouse Mexico Painter)


We have visited the museum of Frieda's artifacts and the her beautiful house.

Garden
Frida's House
Frida Kahlo was born in 1954 was a Mexican painter, best known for her self portraits. In her paints Mexican culture and Amerindian trad ions reflected.
She married the famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera. She was having health problems and we can see the pain  in her paintings

Casa Azul ("Blue House") in Coyoacán, Mexico City is the family home where Frida Kahlo grew up and to which she returned in her final years. Frida's father, Guillermo Kahlo, built the house in 1907 as the Kahlo family home. Leon Trotsky stayed at this house when he first arrived in Mexico in 1937.

The house was donated by Diego Rivera upon his death in 1957, which occurred three years after the death of Frida and the house is now a museum housing artifacts of her life. This house is a popular tourist destination..
