Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who was mostly known as the wife of famous muralist Diego Rivera. Although she was an artist herself, her work was not as widely recognized because seemingly, she lived in the shadow of her husband and many other famous artists during her lifetime. Most of her work were self-portraits where she depicted herself as a woman with strong facial features, one of them being her obvious unibrow.
After her death, Frida Kahlo rose to fame because people started to praise her work. Despite being a woman in her lifetime surrounded by many famous male artists, she still had the courageous attitude of making her way to the top. She has paved the way for female artists then and now. Today, Frida Kahlo is celebrated by many people as a role model for feminism. A movie titled, Frida, was created as Salma Hayek graciously played her role. Her unique face graces many articles, clothing pieces, stamps, and many museums and cultural institutions.
