Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her many self-portraits and works inspired by Mexican culture. She was born in Mexico in 1907 and suffered polio as a child and a serious bus accident in her youth that caused lifelong pain. In the 1920s, she met Diego Rivera and married him in 1929. Kahlo's art often depicted her physical and psychological pain through portraits that reflected Mexican folk art. Her most famous work is "The Two Fridas" depicting her divorce. Kahlo's art is now celebrated internationally as a depiction of female experience and Mexican traditions.
