'''[[Frida Kahlo]]''' (6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954) was a Mexican artist who created many paintings, [[self-portrait]]s and other works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. She often featured her own body in her paintings, presenting it in varying states and disguises: as wounded, broken, as a child or clothed in different outfits, such as [[Tehuantepec#Tehuanas|Tehuana]] attire, a man's suit or European dress. Kahlo was heavily influenced by ''[[Mexicayotl|Mexicanidad]]'', a [[romantic nationalism]] that claimed to resist the "mindset of cultural inferiority" created by colonialism by placing special importance on [[Indigenous peoples of Mexico|Mexican indigenous cultures]] and [[Aztec mythology]]. [[List of paintings by Frida Kahlo|Her paintings]] also often feature imagery with roots growing out of her body; she developed a complex iconography, extensively employing pre-Columbian and Christian symbols and mythology in her paintings. In most of her self-portraits, she depicts her face as mask-like, but surrounded by visual cues which allow the viewer to decipher deeper meanings from the work.
This picture of Kahlo was taken by American photographer [[Toni Frissell]], as part of a 1937 photo shoot for ''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]'' magazine entitled "Señoras of Mexico". She is depicted outdoors, seated next to an [[agave]] plant. The photograph is in the collection of the [[Library of Congress]] in Washington, D.C.
