Frida Kahlo: Pain, Politics, and the Self-Portraits That Made an Icon

Description

In this episode of The Compendium, we dive into the wild, beautiful, and often brutal life of Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo is the artist who turned her pain into power. From the accident that shattered her spine to the politics, love affairs, and Diego Rivera drama that filled her world, Frida painted every heartbreak straight onto the canvas. And today I’m going to tell Adam all about it as we explore her bold self-portraits, her surrealism before it had a name, and how a woman once dismissed as “Diego’s wife” became a global symbol of art, rebellion, and self-expression, from La Casa Azul to the Tate Modern.

We give you just the Compendium, but if you want more, here are our resources:
