Frida Kahlo is regarded as one of Mexico's greatest painters: her
extraordinary personal style, her tragic story, her relationship
with Diego Rivera (the more famous painter in their day) alongside
her passionate paintings have made her a cult figure since she died
over sixty years ago. But beyond the familiar images there is a
private story about a daughter who confided in her beloved mama,
Matilde Calderon Kahlo. Until now Frida's handwritten letters have
only been available to scholars - and recently in Spanish in a book
that appeared in 2016. Now for the first time we have over fifty of
these letters in English. And what a treasure. Funny, observant and
honest, they chart Kahlo's relationship with her mother; a
relationship that was sometimes fraught - as with most mother and
daughters - but was always alive and honest. They begin in 1923
when Kahlo was sixteen and continue until the death of her mother
in 1932. These letters tell us about Kahlo's anxieties, her
feelings about her husband and friends and above all reveal the
marvellous, critical painter's eye in her description of people and
places from Mexico, San Francisco and New York. Edited, translated
and introduced by Dr. Hector Jaimes, Professor of Spanish, North
Carolina State University (who edited the Spanish version) this
book is published with paintings and photographs.
