Carl Wilhelm Kahlo Kauffman (26 October 1871 – 14 April 1941), commonly known as Guillermo Kahlo, was a German-Mexican photographer. He photographically documented important architectural works, churches, streets, landmarks, as well as industries and companies in Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century; meaning that his work has not only artistic value but also historical and documental importance. He was the father of artist Frida Kahlo, who painted his portrait. == Life == Kahlo was born in Pforzheim, Grand Duchy of Baden, German Empire (now in Baden-Württemberg, Germany), the son of jeweller Jakob Heinrich Kahlo and Henriette Kaufmann. Frida Kahlo maintained that he was of Hungarian Jewish descent.〔 One recent book, ''Fridas Vater: Der Fotograf Guillermo Kahlo'' by Gaby Franger and Rainer Huhle, traced Kahlo's genealogy, and stated that "despite the legend propagated by Frida," Guillermo did not have Jewish Hungarian roots, but was born to Protestant parents and "came from families accommodated in Frankfurt and Pforzheim." He attended the University of Nuremberg. His father paid him to travel to Mexico in 1891 as he did not get on with his stepmother. In Mexico, he changed his name from ''Wilhelm'' to ''Guillermo''. He married María Cardena in August, 1893. The night she died giving birth to their third child, he asked Antonio Calderón for his daughter Matilde’s hand in marriage. After the marriage, Kahlo sent his and Maria’s daughters away to be raised in a convent. He is played by Roger Rees in the movie ''Frida''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guillermo Kahlo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
