interview with Frida Kahlo is the basis for a multifaceted view of her
The core of the book is a series of interviews an Olga Campos had with Kahlo when Campos was a student. In the book, it is more like a monologue than a typical interview format. There's no question-and-response: Kahlo's words on a variety of subjects have been grouped together. Among the subjects are Children, Animals, Social Conscience, and My Body. As expected, the Mexican artist's words on ...

A Fitting Successor
This book is a fitting successor to Frida. Both books tell the story of tragic lives made triumphant through art. Both brilliantly evoke their respective art worlds in the first half of the last century. They also evoke the tumultuous political, economic, and social world of the times. The writing is graceful and clear. Herrera talks about paintings, realistic and abstract, with believablity and ...

He is also a thrilling writer and critic on the use of allegory and on Kahlo and ...

In "Frida Kahlo: The Still Lifes", psychoanalytic art historian Salomon Grimberg showcases with commentary forty of Kahlo's still life paintings in a seminal study of a portion of her work which reveals new perspectives and understandings of her personal and ...

The definitive Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Y Calderón
The are many good books on the market that show some of Frida's best work and many that have a good overview of her life as the daughter of Wilhelm Kahlo and the "on and off wife" of the famous mural painter Diego Rivera. What sets this book out from the multitude is the attention to detail. There are actual correspondences from and to Frida. Also many things that may be glossed over are ...
