No single painting definitively made Frida Kahlo famous. During her lifetime she was well-respected in creative circles, but she never became as famous as her husband, Diego Rivera. Her reputation grew steadily after her death, probably based on the entirety of her work. Kahlo’s most famous painting may be The Two Fridas, a double self-portrait representing opposing sides of Kahlo. By the 21st century, her fame had reached what some critics called “Fridamania.”
