Overview
Explore the unforgettable art and life of Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), the Mexican painter whose deeply personal images have become enduring symbols of resilience, identity, and creative independence. This pocket guide reveals what to look for in Kahlo’s symbolic self-portraits, vivid colors, carefully chosen objects, references to Mexican culture, and unflinching depictions of physical and emotional experience. Discover how illness, injury, love, politics, family, and national identity shaped a body of work that is at once intimate and universal. Fascinating biographical insights, memorable anecdotes, a personal portrait, and powerful quotations bring her distinctive voice into sharper focus. A spotlight on one of her acclaimed masterpieces offers a deeper reading of its imagery and meaning. With more than 65 full-color reproductions, this beautifully designed volume provides an accessible and moving introduction to one of the most recognizable and influential artists of the twentieth century.
