Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón (1907 - ?) was a Mexican painter known for her vibrant, intimate, and symbolic self-portraits that explored themes of identity, sexuality, and death. Her work was influenced by Mexican indigenous cultures, European Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Kahlo became a feminist icon for her depiction of the female experience and form, and for her personal paintings that included nudity.
