Meanwhile, in the same years.
A child of the revolution
Frida was a child of the Mexican Revolution. She even claimed 1910, the year it broke out, as her birth year, though she was truly born in 1907.
A new universe
After a serious bus accident, Frida began to paint in 1925, bedridden for months. A good decade earlier, Einstein had published his theory of relativity.
Pain on canvas
In 1937, Picasso painted his Guernica against the horror of the Spanish Civil War. In those same years, Frida set down her own pain in her self-portraits.
Trailblazers
Frida painted through decades when Virginia Woolf published her novels and Marie Curie kept working in her lab. Three women, three fields, the same years.
