one of the most famous Mexican artists, a representative of realism, surrealism and symbolism. Most of her paintings are self-portraits: "Self-portrait with frame", "Self-portrait", "Two Fridos". Frida never thought that she painted works of a surrealist tendency, until the French poet and surrealist André Breton, who came to visit L. Trotsky in Mexico in April 1938, saw her paintings. The most important source of the content of her works is Mexican folk art and pre-Columbian culture
