Frida's love for life despite all is simply amazing! How can a person endure that kind of physical pain for so long? Encouraged by her father, who was a photographer, she chose something passionating to do like painting, painting her own struggle & reality as she said it herself, which gave her a distraction and pretty much something to live for. A very smart and witty woman. Loved her letters and postcards to Diego and others. She wrote in such a funny, sharp sincere way. I don't agre with her lifestyle, but I believe that it was mostly a provocation and a form of revenge from Diego, whom she madly loved. "Pies para qué los quiero si tengo alas 'pa volar"
