Born in Mexico in 1907, Frida Kahlo learned about suffering at an
early age. She fell victim to polio at the age of six, and was then
seriously hurt in a bus accident at eighteen, resulting in injuries
that affected her for the rest of her life. The young and
indomitable Frida met Diego Rivera, the great mural painter, when
Mexico was at a great cultural and political crossroads. They
formed a legendary partnership, with a strong attachment to Mexican
folk art, a deep commitment to the Communist struggle and a raging
artistic ambition that survived all the trials of their marriage.
Admired by the Surrealists and photographed by the greatest, Frida
was most renowned for her self-portraits and unusual still lifes.
This book traces the extraordinary life of this artist whose
unforgettable imagery combined cruelty and wit, honesty and
insolence, pain and empowerment.
