[156] Along with her younger sister Cristina, she attended the local kindergarten and primary school in Coyoacán and was homeschooled for the fifth and sixth grades. [157] While Cristina followed their sisters into a convent school, Kahlo was enrolled in a German school due to their father's wishes. [158] She was soon expelled for disobedience and was sent to a vocational teachers school. [157] Her stay at the school was brief, as she was sexually abused by a female teacher. [157] Most of the paintings Kahlo made during this time were portraits of herself, her sisters, and her schoolfriends. [16] Her early paintings and correspondence show that she drew inspiration especially from European artists, in particular Renaissance masters such as Sandro Botticelli and Bronzino [17] and from avant-garde movements such as Neue Sachlichkeit and Cubism. [18] Kahlo's work as an artist remained relatively unknown until the late 1970s, when her work was rediscovered by art historians and political activists. By the early 1990s, not only had she become a recognized figure in art history, but she was also regarded as an icon for Chicanos, the feminism movement, and the LGBTQ+ community. Kahlo's work has been celebrated internationally as emblematic of Mexican national and indigenous traditions and by feminists for what is seen as its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.

[80] She became severely depressed and anxious, and her dependence on painkillers escalated. [80] When Rivera began yet another affair, she attempted suicide by overdose. [80] She wrote in her diary in February 1954, "They amputated my leg six months ago, they have given me centuries of torture and at moments I almost lost my reason. I keep on wanting to kill myself. Diego is what keeps me from it, through my vain idea that he would miss me.... But never in my life have I suffered more. I will wait a while..."
