Pierced by a steel handrail and broken in many places, she entered a long period of convalescence during which she began to paint self-portraits.
In , at twenty-one, she joined the Communist Party and came to know Diego Rivera. The forty-one-year-old Rivera, Mexico's most famous painter, was impressed by the force of Kahlo's personality and by the authenticity of her art, and the two soon married. Though they were devoted to each other, intermittent affairs on both sides, Frida's grief over her inability to bear a child, and her frequent illnesses made the marriage tumultuous.
This prose poem is typical Maso--vigorous, daring, always original.
