Some of her most famous works include “The Two Fridas,” “Frida and Diego Rivera” and “The Wounded Deer.” Her paintings included themes around nature, death, the body and oneself.

She died on July 13, 1954. Frida Kahlo was a very important person in the Latinx community who is remembered all around the world. Submitted by Magdalene Marcus
