Frida Kahlo did not have any kids. After the injuries she sustained in a tram crash, Kahlo’s inability to bear a child was painfully close to her. She had one abortion when it became clear that her health would not allow her to carry the pregnancy to term. She miscarried when she became pregnant again a few years later.
Why Did Frida Never Have Kids?
Kahlo had a number of miscarriages as well as at least three therapeutic abortions. The flying bed, which was painted during Kahlo’s visit to the United States, is about the miscarriage she had. This painting illustrates the fragility of her body, the pain she was experiencing, and draws attention to the pelvic bones and uterus.
Kahlo suffered from neurological problems, chronic pain, and other health issues, including infertility, for the rest of her life as a result of contracting polio at the age of six and being involved in a terrible streetcar accident at the age of eighteen.
Why Did Frida Kahlo Have A Unibrow?
Frida Kahlo’s unibrow has become shorthand for “I won’t curtail my self-expression to meet your expectations of how a woman should look.” By having a unibrow, mustache, and dark hair, she is making a statement that she rejects stereotypes of what is and is not attractive.
How Did Frida Kahlo Die?
Frida was 47 years old when she died. She is said to have died of a pulmonary embolism, but some speculate that she may have died by suicide or overdose.
“I hope the exit is joyful—and I hope never to return—Frida,” she wrote in her diary a few days before she died.
