Frida Kahlo was a prominent Mexican artist known for her deeply personal and symbolic works that explore identity, pain, and the female experience. Born in 1907, she endured significant physical suffering due to polio and a bus accident. Kahlo's distinctive style blends folk art with surrealism, often incorporating elements of Mexican culture. Her self-portraits, such as "The Two Fridas," reflect her emotional and psychological struggles. Additionally, Kahlo's activism and political beliefs, including her advocacy for feminism and communism, further solidify her status as a cultural icon.
