Frida Kahlo
Although her artwork wasn’t well known until the 1970’s, Frida Kahlo was always considered an important figure in folk art. Many of her works were self-portraits that captured her pain and anguish from surviving a bus accident and her rocky romantic relationship with artist Diego Rivera. She was born today in 1907.
