Biography of Art. Viva la Frida

Frida Kahlo's art is a ribbon tied around a bomb.
André Breton

Art, childhood, beauty, violence, and love are finely woven into the luxurious everyday life she creates around herself: national costumes reminiscent of the bright plumage of birds, exotic plants, masks of Indian idols, hair braided in plaits and gathered like the headdress of the Aztec goddess of the earth, Tlazolteotl, the magic of the surrounding nature that sometimes cruelly wounds, tears shining like diamonds, and blood - the most precious of all liquids, flowing in a bright scarlet stream.

There is something mysterious about Frida's image.
Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio

Diego and Frida.
Frida Kahlo learned very early what suffering was. In her childhood, she suffered from polio, and at eighteen, she was severely injured in an accident: the bus she was on collided with a tram. The injuries she sustained largely determined her subsequent life. Frida's marriage to the famous Mexican painter Diego Rivera was complicated - full of passions, clarifications of relationships, and of course, love. Both were singers of Mexican art and ardent communists. Surrealists admired Frida, she was photographed by the best photographers, but she gained the most fame through her self-portraits and unusual still lifes.
This book tells the story of the extraordinary life of the artist whose unforgettable works combined cruelty and wit, honesty and bravado, pain and inspiration.
