Frida Kahlo was a great Mexican painter, best known for her self-portraits. She combined traditional Mexican folk art with surrealism, making her paintings a symbolic form of self-expression. A self-taught artist, Kahlo hadn’t thought of painting as her first career choice until a tragic incident left her severely injured, changing her destiny. She spent most of her recovery time painting and later went on to choose this as a medium to convey her pain and suffering. Some of her most notable works include ‘Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird,’ ‘Memory, the Heart,’ ‘Henry Ford Hospital,’ ‘The Broken Column,’ ‘Me and My Parrots,’ ‘Self-Portrait with Monkey,’ ‘What the Water Gave Me,’ and ‘The Dream (The Bed).’ One of the best-known artists of the 20th century, Kahlo spent her entire life in chronic pain and suffered from infertility and disability. Leading an unhappy marital life, Kahlo had several extramarital affairs and was one of the most sexually liberated women of her time.
