“Self-Portrait Dedicated to Leon Trotsky, 1937,” by celebrated Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, was her birthday gift to the Russian politician. Kahlo (1907 – 1954) and husband Diego Rivera took Trotsky and his wife into their home after Joseph Stalin chased them into exile. Kahlo and Trotsky began a secret affair, which Kahlo soon ended, although she presented Trotsky with this self-portrait on his birthday. Trotsky left the painting behind when he moved out of Kahlo’s house, and the piece is now featured in Washington, D.C.’s National Museum of Women in the Arts.
