Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkácsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century art.</p><p>After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet André Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp.</p><p>We access the intimacy of Frida's affections and passions through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, letters, and an extensive illustrated biography featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida's home and the center of her universe.</p><p>This large-format XXL book allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo's paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots and famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections and reproduces works that were previously lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years, forming the most extensive study of Kahlo's work and life to date.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"...offers for the first time a comprehensive survey of her entire oeuvre."-- "bbc.com"<br><br>"A privileged glimpse into the private world of the legendary artist, including paintings that belong to private collections and are difficult for the general public to access."-- "dazeddigital.com"<br><br>"Allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo's paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots and famous photographs."-- "creativeboom.com"<br><br>"There is an impressive authenticity in Frida's visual metaphors.
