Description

Frida Kahlo and My Left Leg is a deeply personal exploration of how the artist's experiences shaped Emily Rapp Black's life as an amputee. A connection was formed with Frida Kahlo at first sight of her painting The Two Fridas, which reflected the author's own struggles with disability and the need to hide it from the world. The author recounts her own story of loss, including the death of her infant son to Tay-Sachs, giving birth to a daughter, and learning to accept her body. She writes about how Frida Kahlo inspired her to find a way forward when all seemed lost, and in doing so, she reveals a powerful exploration of art, identity, and resilience. This book is a moving and thought-provoking account of one woman's journey towards self-acceptance and creativity, set against the backdrop of Frida Kahlo's remarkable life.
