This is a very vague question because Frieda Kahlo painted numerous paintings. She has painted themes that vary from personal all the way to political. Kahlo painted many self portraits which express an "intimate" side of the artist. In other paintings she would address political topics or gender roles. For example in her marriage portrait, "Frieda and Diego Rivera", she clearly expresses gender roles. Frieda both accepts and rejects the roles which she had to follow in the 1930's society. One way she accepts gender roles is by portraying herself in a "submissive" manner to her husband, showing herself as a devoted wife to him. One way she rejects gender roles is the placement of the dove in the painting, which announces that she is a professional and independent woman artist.
