#12: Frida Kahlo Pictured With Her Family, 1926

Frida Kahlo was a true trailblazer, a Mexican painter who challenged the norms of her time both in her art and her personal life. Her surrealistic self-portraits are now celebrated as iconic works of art, but during her lifetime, Kahlo struggled to gain recognition and often lived in the shadow of her more successful husband, Diego Rivera.

In this photo from 1926, Kahlo is seen with her mother, Matilde, sister Cristina, and other family members. The image captures the essence of Kahlo’s early life, a time when she was still finding her voice and her place in the world. Today, her legacy lives on as a symbol of the power of creativity and individuality to challenge the norms and change the world.
