"Frida Kahlo de Rivera" was a Mexican art/Mexican painter who is best known for her self-portraits.
Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Frida Kahlo Museum/Blue House. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous peoples of the Americas/indigenous tradition and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.
