1.When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London,a poet described her paintings as"a ribbon (丝带)around a bomb".Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly,she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City,Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven.Her spine (脊柱)become bent as she grew older.Then,in 1925,her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life,the artist had many operations,but noting was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However,the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering,Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929,she got married to Diego Rivera,another famous Mexican artist.Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works,but her later works from the 1940s,known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately,her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s,even in her home country.Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954,Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world,but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.

分析 本文是一篇人物传记,介绍了墨西哥著名艺术家弗里达•卡洛的人生以及她的遭遇.
卡洛对她那个时期的艺术世界有着很大的影响.不幸的是,实际上在世时远不如今天有名.
卡洛出生墨西哥.7岁时,患上小儿麻痹症.她的脊柱随着年龄的增长变得弯曲.1925年,背部多处骨折.在卡洛的余生中,经历过许多手术,但是无论什么都治愈不了她背部的锥心之痛.然而,那场车祸也带来了一个意外的收获:当她躺在床上康复期间,卡洛自学了绘画.
在卡洛早期的作品中里维拉对卡洛画风的强烈影响,但是在她那些20世纪40年代以后的作品中,她丈夫的影响很少.1953年举办了在墨西哥首个女画家个人画展.1954年去世后的十多年里,卡洛的画作仍不广为人知,但是从20世纪70年代开始,她的作品最终声名鹊起.
