Carmen Frida Kahlo E Calderon, born in 1907, faced polio and a life-altering bus accident. During recovery, she began painting to express her pain. Known for her self-portraits, Frida married Diego Rivera and was involved in the Mexican Communist Party. Her art, often described as surrealist or magical realist, includes controversial pieces.
