Frida Kahlo wer. angielska

Among the&nbsp women artists&nbsp who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter&nbsp Frida Kahlo&nbsp (1907–1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in&nbsp over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations along with&nbsp hundreds of photographs&nbsp taken by notable artists such as&nbsp Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and&nbsp Martin Munkácsi, they made&nbsp Frida Kahlo&nbsp an icon of 20th century art.

After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter. Her marriage to&nbsp Diego Rivera&nbsp in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the&nbsp cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet&nbsp André Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism&nbsp and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp.

We access the intimacy of Frida’s affections and passions&nbsp through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, and an&nbsp extensive illustrated biography&nbsp featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida’s home and the center of her universe.

This book allows readers to&nbsp admire&nbsp Frida Kahlo’s paintings like never before, including&nbsp unprecedented detail shots&nbsp and&nbsp famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections and reproduces works that were&nbsp previously lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years.
