Frida begins just before the traumatic accident Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek) suffered at the age of 18 when a trolley bus collided with a motor bus she was riding. She is impaled by a metal pole and the injuries she sustained plague her for the rest of her life. To help her through convalescence, her father brings her a canvas upon which to start painting. Throughout the film, a scene starts as a painting, then slowly dissolves into a live-action scene with actors. Frida also details the artist's dysfunctional relationship with the muralist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina). When Rivera proposes to Kahlo,
No. Yet, she was hit by a bus when a little girl. Sh also had polio, causing her student peers to call her "Peg Leg"
The Mexican Award of Art and Science was presented to her in 1946.
Kahlo contracted polio at six, which left her right leg thinner than the left, which Kahlo disguised by wearing long, colorful skirts. It has been conjectured that she also suffered from spina bifida, a congenital disease that could have affected both spinal and leg development. On September 17, 1925, Kahlo was riding in a bus when the vehicle collided with a trolley car. She suffered serious injuries in the accident, including a broken spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, eleven fractures in her right leg, a crushed and dislocated right foot, and a dislocated shoulder. An iron handrail pierced her abdomen and her uterus, which seriously damaged her reproductive ability. (Wikipedia)

Frida Kahlo wore long skirts as a way to express her identity and culture, embracing traditional Mexican attire. The skirts also served to conceal her physical disabilities resulting from polio and a severe bus accident, allowing her to manage her self-image and comfort. Additionally, her unique style became a significant aspect of her artistic persona, symbolizing her connection to her heritage and personal experiences.
Frida Kahlo painted because it was something she enjoyed, she had a talent of being able to look at things with a new perspective. After she got in the bus accident she was paralyzed so painting was all she could really do. She had to sit in bed all day unless someone helped her move around. So painting was something she was able to enjoy and it got her through the days
For her unusual and different style of art and for being Diego Rivera's fourth wife. She was considered an icon for her "pain and passion" and for her intense, vibrant colors. Check out the movie Frida.
