Mexican-born artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) produced some of the most extraordinarily personal images of the 20th century, often incorporating themes from Mexican folk art while candidly recording on canvas her loves, losses, illnesses, and passions. This splendid set of cards includes six of the artist's most expressive works: Self-Portrait (1926), revealing a hint of the emotional tension that would later pervade many of her self-portraits; The Deceased Dimas (1937), prompted perhaps by the loss of a child; Dona Rosita Morillo (1944), a realistic portrayal of a friend's mother; Girl with Death Mask (1938); Self-Portrait with Monkeys (1943); and Still Life with Parrot (1951). A powerful sampling of works by one of the 20th century's most provocative artists, these striking reproductions will be prized by lovers of fine art for their originality and haunting beauty.

Go inside the magical world of Frida Kahlo as she recalls an early
childhood memory of her imaginary friend. Without trying to imitate
Frida's unmistakable style, Gianluca Foli captures this fragment
from her diary through stunning illustrations that provide a
colorful backdrop for Frida's powerful voice. In these words,
children will be given a window into the mind of this great artist
and the great joy and happiness her imaginary friend brought to her
during times of struggle. Along with biographical information about
Frida Kahlos childhood and her later work, The Two Fridas is a
celebration of Frida Kahlo, her culture, and the magical, joyful,
secret-filled friendship she shared and later captured in her
painting. Children will be encouraged to explore their own
imaginary worlds, open up conversations, and build on their own
creativity.
Full of anguish and passion, Frida Kahlo's arresting self-images fairly smolder on the canvas. Now, after having long been eclipsed by Diego Rivera, her more famous partner, Kahlo's work is achieving widespread recognition. In addition to portraits of herself and Rivera, these excellent new sticker reproductions of Kahlo's compelling works include The Broken Column, Portrait of Don Guillermo Kahlo, The Deceased Dimas, Still Life with Parrot, and many others.
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.
