Twentieth-century Mexican painter Frida Kahlo is best known for her unusual self-portraits. In these works her impassive stare generally masks her feelings. Kahlo's style borrows from Mexican folk art and her paintings incorporate representations of Mexican flora and fauna as well as references to Mexico's pre-Columbian civilizations, as seen here in Self-Portrait with Monkey (1945, private collection).
