Abstract
Each self-portrait is a different explanation of Frida without repetition. The self-portraits show an identity of entirely herself with each point of her face. Kahlo made herself an art object in her artworks such as in front of the camera. Frida Kahlo, who painted her first self-portrait in 1926, and continued painting them until she died in 1954, produced more than one hundred images. Frida Kahlo’s self-images point out an interconnection between herself and political messages. Furthermore, two turning points changed Frida’s life and that is the car accident and Rivera. Mexican cultural context is placed between these two turning points.
