Frida Kahlo

Last night my flatmate and I watched the movie 'Frida' about Frida Kahlo.
Wow this was quite an intense film , which is fair enough because she had an amazing and depressing life.
Its weird to think that someone can go through so much pain and just peddle out these amazing pieces of art.
This reminds me of a quote me sociology lecturer said once ...
"Italy for thirty years under the Borgias had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed, but produced Michelangelo, DaVinci, and the Renaissance. And Switzerland had brotherly love and five hundred years of democracy and peace. And what did they produce? The cuckoo clock."
Orson Welles from the 1949 picture "The Third Man"
