Explore the world of Frida Kahlo: behind the portraits and surrealistic art, discover the fascinating woman who has captivated the world. Frida Kahlo has reappeared as a Halloween costume, a Barbie doll, a character in children's books, and as inspiration for various creations. Hetty Judah attempts to correct this image with this remarkable biography of one of the most charismatic artists of the last hundred years. Follow Frida's life through turbulent loves and defining misfortunes, until her recognition by significant artists. Judah delves into Kahlo's experiences and how they inspired her art, which has been described as an unflinching depiction of the female experience and form. From an early battle with polio to a debilitating accident at the age of 18, Frida Kahlo's life was filled with pain, but a pain that gave birth to great beauty.
