In celebration of #FridaKahlo's birthday, teleSUR looks at the Mexican artist's most iconic paintings. Born July 6, 1907, Frida Kahlo was an iconic visual artist who redefined contemporary Mexican art. Her deeply personal paintings reflected her life of exuberance and suffering. Kahlo's work reflected her social awareness and her tumultuous life which included a the tragic accident which left her with serious health problems at the age of 18 years. This fed into her art with her brightly colored paintings belying scenes of trauma and distress. She considered herself a strong ally of the international communist movement and was a militant of the Communist Party of Mexico. She and her husband, muralist Diego Rivera, were both part of the muralist movement which promoted Indigenous Mexican culture in art.
