‘I never painted my dreams, I painted my own reality’ Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo is regarded as one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. In recent times, public interest in the dramatic details of Kahlo’s life has threatened to eclipse serious consideration of her artistic achievement. This beautifully produced book focuses our attention once more on the artistic qualities that make her paintings some of the most iconic images of the last hundred years.
Presenting major works alongside the lesser known, and incorporating paintings, drawings and photographs, Frida Kahlo offers a thoroughly researched, accessible overview of her life’s work. Essays by international critics are combined with over two hundred illustrations, an illustrated glossary explaining the symbolic background to the key elements that recur in her paintings, and a biography detailing the major events of the artist’s life. Anyone with an interest in this most public and yet enigmatic of artists will need this book.
