| Summary |
"This engrossing biography of the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo reveals a women of extreme magnetism and originality, an artist whose sensual vibrancy came straight from her own experiences: her childhood near Mexico City during the Mexican Revolution; a devasting accident at eighteen which left her crippled and unable to bear children; her tempestuous marriage to muralist Diego Rivera and intermittent love affairs with men as diverse as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky; her association through Rivera with the Communist Party; her absorption in Mexican folklore and culture; her dramitic love of spectacle. Here is the tumultuous life of an extraordinary twenthieth-century woman - with illustrations as rich and haunting as her legend."--BOOK COVER |
