Description

Hailed by readers and critics around the country, this engrossing biography of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo reveals a girl of utmost magnetism and originality, an artist whose sensual vibrancy came straight from her own experiences: her childhood close to Mexico City all over the Mexican Revolution; a devastating twist of fate at age eighteen that left her crippled and unable to bear children; her tempestuous marriage to muralist Diego Rivera and intermittent love affairs with men as diverse as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky; her association with the Communist Celebration; her absorption in Mexican folklore and culture; and her dramatic love of spectacle.

Here is the tumultuous lifetime of an atypical twentieth-century woman — with illustrations as wealthy and haunting as her legend.
