From the Paper:

"Frida Kahlo lived from 1910-1954. Her existence was a continuous experience of pain and of enduring operations. Khalo's life was marked by ambiguity and duality since she had an "exterior persona constantly reinvented with costume and ornament, and an interior life nourished on the pain of a body crippled in a trolley accident" (Chadwick 313). Frida expressed her physical and mental torment in her work. Kahlo (227) wrote in her Diary that "I'll do what I can to escape from my world."
