Among the few female artists who have transcended art history, none had such a meteoric rise as the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. She was a prominent figure in post-revolutionary Mexican art, as well as a pioneer of political discourse on gender, sexuality and feminism. This XXL monograph combines her 152 paintings with little-known photographs, pages from her diary, letters and an illustrated biography.
This XXL-sized volume allows readers to see Frida Kahlo's paintings as never before, some in formats that exceed those of the original works, accompanied by famous photographs. It presents works from hard-to-access private collections and reproduces paintings that have been lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years. The volume is the most extensive study of Frida Kahlo's paintings published to date.
In this book, the reader will find a fascinating account of Frida Kahlo's artistic career. We gain access to Frida's intimate affections and passions through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, letters and an extensive biography illustrated with photos of Frida, Diego and the Casa Azul, the home and centre of the painter's universe.
