Description
Frida Kahlo's universe is revealed through almost 300 archival items, showcasing her distinctive wardrobe and personal art collection. This compendium presents a rich diversity of themes and ideas surrounding two iconic figures of modern Mexico: Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego Rivera. The book features over 300 images from the archives of the Museo Frida Kahlo in Mexico City, offering a glimpse into Kahlo's connection with photography, her beloved home La casa azul, and the history behind her art. A lifelong activist, Frida Kahlo's practice was driven by her love for Mexican folk tradition, communist beliefs, and complex relationship with her body, gender, and sexuality. This volume explores the legacy of an indispensable figure in 20th-century art and culture, both in Mexico and globally. It provides a unique insight into the life and work of Frida Kahlo, who began painting at 18 after a bus crash left her permanently disabled, finding solace in art as a source of healing and self-expression.
