Since the late 1970s, Frida has emerged as one of the 20th century's leading practitioners of portraiture. Mexican artist Diego Rivera was an early supporter of her work and the couple married in 1929. While Rivera worked on large-scale historical murals, Kahlo's work was both intimate in scale and subject matter. These qualities stemmed partly from her lifelong health problems following a tram accident that occurred when she was 18. Through her self-portraits, she expressed her physical and emotional pain, as well as her fluid identity as a politically engaged, modern, cosmopolitan woman and heir to Mexico's indigenous traditions. Because of her championing of personal experience and identity as valid art subjects, Kahlo is a cultural icon for feminists, gay's and American Latino's, among others. Magda Pach, wife of writer and artist Walter Pach, was one of the American establishment figures who fervently supported Mexican art in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s.
