The Mexican artist Frida Kahlo lead an eventful life. She was crippled by polio as a child, then knocked down by a tram as a teenager. Her husband, the artist Diego Rivera, was constantly unfaithful and Kahlo herself had an affair with Trotsky.
But amid all this, does her art get overlooked? Jenni talks to actress and writer Sophie Faucher who has turned Kahlo's work into a stage play, and to art historian Griselda Pollock. Frida Kahlo: The Paintings, Perennial (HarperCollins); ISBN: 0060923199 Julie Taymor's movie Frida starring Salma Hayek opens in the US on Friday 25 October and in the UK next year
