Kahlo

The arresting pictures of Frida Kahlo (Mexican, 1907-1954) were in many ways' expressions of trauma. Through a near-fatal road accident at the age of 18, failing health, a turbulent marriage, miscarriage, and childlessness, she transformed the afflictions into revolutionary art. The artist described her paintings as "the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself." 

This book introduces the rich body of Kahlo's work to explore her unremitting determination as an artist, and her significance as a painter, feminist icon, and a pioneer of Latin American culture.
