FRIDA KAHLO is probably the most idolized artist of her time. At
the root of the scholarly speculation and pop-culture paraphernalia
lies Frida Kahlo: An Open Life, first published in Mexico in 1983.
This irreplaceable, eclectic collection reveals the complexities,
profound sadness, and immutable creative spirit of the famed
Mexican artist. The intimate picture of the often enigmatic Kahlo
presented in this book has become an invaluable source for Kahlo
scholars. Raquel Tibol, one of Mexico's most respected art critics
and art historians, befriended Diego Rivera in Chile and in 1953
came with him to Mexico City, where she met and interviewed Frida
Kahlo a year before Kahlo's death. She lived with Kahlo for a while
at Coyoacan in Mexico City and then for a time at Rivera's San
Angel Inn home.
Frida Kahlo: An Open Life uses medical records, journals,
letters, interviews, and personal recollections to bring us closer
than ever to the Mexican artist and her milieu. Elinor Randall's
translation makes Tibol's rich portrait of the remarkable Frida
Kahlo available in English for the first time.
