The backstory:
Frida Kahlo de Rivera(Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾiða ˈkalo]; born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón; 6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954) was a Mexican artistwho painted many portraits, self-portraitsand works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïvefolk artstyle to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class and race in Mexican society.[1] Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotlmovement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealistor magical realist.[2]
