Processing Note: The collection was received in 14 bound portfolios prepared by the donor, Nelleke Nix, and titled by groups of correspondents or loose series description. The donor had sleeved most of the items in polyester or mylar and had prepared an item-level inventory. The collection was received in excellent condition with minimal folds, fading, or brittleness. Some letters in Series 2 exhibit water damage and bright pink splotches, which seem to indicate active mold; however, closer examination reveals none of the other indicators of mold, such as surface fuzziness or acrid scent. During processing, all items were removed from the portfolios and each leaf was sleeved individually in mylar or polyester to isolate any possible spores. All materials were separated into three series and placed in acid-free folders. The collection is housed in four acid-free manuscript boxes located in the Library and Research Center. The collection was processed in 2007 by Jason Stieber and reprocessed in March 2012 by Jennifer Page. The following monographs were consulted during the preparation of biographical notes, chronology, and box inventory for this guide: Carpenter, Elizabeth, ed., Frida Kahlo. Walker Art Center: Minneapolis, 2007. Dexter, Emma and Tanya Barson, eds., Frida Kahlo. Tate Publishing: London, 2005. Herrera, Hayden, Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo.

Biographical Note
Mexican painter Frida Kahlo was the third of four daughters born to a German Hungarian father and a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent. She did not originally plan to become an artist. At age fifteen Kahlo entered the premedical program at the prestigious National Preparatory School in Mexico City. However, this training ended three years later when Kahlo was gravely injured in a bus accident. She spent more than a year in bed, recovering from fractures of her back, collarbone, ribs, and pelvis, as well as shoulder and foot injuries. Despite more than thirty subsequent operations, Kahlo spent the rest of her life in constant pain, finally succumbing to related complications at age forty-seven. During her recovery from the 1925 bus accident, Kahlo began to paint with oils. Her pictures, mostly self-portraits and still lifes, were deliberately naïve and filled with the bright colors and flattened forms of the Mexican folk art she always loved. At twenty-one, Kahlo met and fell in love with the famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, whose approach to art and political activism complemented her own. Although he was twenty years her senior, they were married in 1929. This high-profile relationship survived marital
