Your post presents us with a good overview of the possible reasons for the tormented life of Frida Kahlo, who is one of the most attractive and enigmatic American (particularly Mexican) artists. I remember reading through this blog an article by @nancybriti where she introduced us to Kahlo and Rivera as a particular case of a conflictive love couple. Perhaps this one, along with their unhealthy state, are the heaviest. Her work, between a figurativism with a surreal tinge and the nativist influence, plus her feminist emblemization have become part of a sort of collective imaginary. The film starring Salma Hayek is a good attempt, although I liked the one directed much earlier by Paul Leduc, and its use in Coco is very striking. Grateful for your informative and illustrated (in both senses) work, @honeydue.
