Frida Kahlo's bed was an integral part of her practice. After a tragic bus accident left Kahlo with a lifelong back injury she was bed-ridden for over a year in recovery. This time in her life served as a turning point that ultimately began her painting career, painting family, friends and self portraits from the perspective of her bed.

This image of her bed was recently taken by Cleve Carney Museum of Art Curator, Justin Witte at the Frida Kahlo Museum. Because Kahlo died in this room in 1954, her death mask has been placed on the bed.

#fridakahlo2020 #FridaFriday #Frida2020After her tragic bus accident that broke Kahlo's spinal column in three places, Frida Kahlo spent over a year bed-ridden in recovery. This turning point in her life is what began her painting career. Given a specially made easel and paints from her parents she began to paint family, friends and self portraits from her bed.

This is an image taken of that bed at the Frida Kahlo Museum. Because Kahlo died in this room in 1954, her death mask has been placed on the bed. ... See MoreSee Less
