For Frida Kalho, dreaming wasn't just something you fancy doing, it was a way of escaping physical or emotional suffering, of expressing her grief through symbols.
Did I say symbols? Actually she was sometimes really "straightforward" in communicating through her work, even shocking. Her paintings weren't that easy to "swallow" and maybe this is what makes her brilliant. Her political orientation is also a source of debates.
The Frida cult (no, really, it is a cult for some!) is also rather famous. It all began when she was seen by her fans in the crematory while her body was burning (not very fun, I know). Some believe she smiled while the flames covered her.
