Frida Kahlo’s 143 paintings included fifty-five self-portraits, repeatedly illuminating the physical and emotional pain in her life- her childhood polio, her streetcar accident at 18 that resulted in partial paralysis and significant injuries/surgeries, her miscarriages, and Diego’s infidelity. Themes of life and death were often present in her work. Kahlo’s entry in her private journal a few days before her death reads, “I hope the exit is joyful-and I hope never to return.”
