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.
