Frida Kahlo is the most famous female artist in history.
She deviated from the traditional portrayal of female beauty in art, and instead chose to paint raw and honest experiences.
A near-fatal bus accident at 18, left Frida crippled and in chronic pain her whole life.
But she managed to make a virtue out of adversity, and astonishing original art out of her pain.
She was a Mexican, female artist, who was disabled, in a male-dominated environment, in post-revolutionary Mexico.
A feminist icon who broke all social conventions and produced some of the most haunting and visionary images of the 20th century.
In 1939, Frida Kahlo's career was taking off, but at the same time, her personal life was falling apart.
It was under these circumstances that she produced her greatest painting "The Two Fridas".
Ten years previously she married Diego Rivera, a world-famous Mexican artist 20 years her senior.
The bizarre "beauty and the beast" dynamic captivated the world, and they went on to have one of the most obsessive and tumultuous relationships in art history.
