The beautifully illustrated and authentic biography of Frida Kahlo. Frida is the story of one of the most remarkable women of the twentieth century, the painter Frida Kahlo. Born near Mexico City, she grew up during the tumultuous days of the Mexican Revolution and, at the age of eighteen, was a victim of an accident that left her disabled and unable to have children. To salvage what she could from her miserable condition, Kahlo had to learn to remain still – that’s how she started painting. Her unique talent made her one of the most resilient artists of the century. But her unforgettable paintings were only one aspect of a rich and dramatic life. Frida is also the story of her turbulent marriage to muralist Diego Rivera, her love affairs with various men such as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky, her involvement with the Communist Party, her immersion in Mexican tradition and culture, and the inspiration behind her memorable art.
