Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Calderón (Coyoacán, Mexico City, July 6, 1907-Coyoacán, Mexico City, July 13, 1954),1 known as Frida Kahlo, was a Mexican painter. Her work revolved thematically around her biography and her own suffering. She was the author of 150 works, mainly self-portraits, in which she projected her difficulties to survive. She is also considered a pop icon of Mexican culture.2

Her life was marked by the misfortune of suffering a serious bus accident in her youth that kept her bedridden for long periods, even undergoing as many as 32 surgical operations.3 She led an unconventional life.3 Frida's work and that of her husband, painter Diego Rivera, influenced each other. Both shared a taste for Mexican folk art with indigenous roots, inspiring other Mexican painters of the post-revolutionary period.

In 1939, her paintings were exhibited in France after receiving an invitation from André Breton, who tried to convince her that they were "surrealist". However, Frida did not see her art reflected in this trend as she considered that she did not paint dreams, but her own life. One of the works in this exhibition (Self-Portrait-The Frame, now at the Pompidou Center) became the first painting by a Mexican artist to be acquired by the Louvre Museum. Although she enjoyed the admiration of prominent painters and intellectuals of her time such as Pablo Picasso, Vasili Kandinski, André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Tina Modotti and Concha Michel, on July 13, 1954, at the age of 47, Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Calderón died of bronchopneumonia and was buried in the Casa Azul.
