Frida Kahlo de Rivera was a Mexican painter who is best known for her self-portraits. Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán , Mexico. The Mexican Revolution began during 1910, when Kahlo was three years old. She later gave her birth date as July 7, 1910, so her life would begin with the birth of modern Mexico. Kahlo contracted polio at age six, which left her right leg thinner than the left; she disguised this later in life by wearing long, colorful skirts.
