Abstract

The special life and experiences of artists usually serve as beginnings, motivation, and significant turning points for their artistic creation. Affected by various emotional changes, these artists show the influence of critical events in their styles of artwork, marking their stages of life. As one of the most important female artists and one of the legends of contemporary art, Frida Kahlo lived a life that is filled with miracles and tragedies. By looking through the timeline into her art of different times, we could match her stages of life with her change in style and develop a further understanding in how the life of the artists influences their work in art.
