 ⭐️ Frida Kahlo transcended art history. A key figure in revolutionary Mexican modern art, she was also a pioneer in the fields of sexuality and feminism. This monograph brings together Kahlo's paintings, rare photos, and pages from her intimate journal.

👩🏻‍🎨 The complete works of Mexico's most famous painter. Few artists have achieved such a meteoric rise in art history as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–1954).

🎨 Recognizable among thousands and depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, her face has been admired for generations. This unique body of work, combined with hundreds of photos taken by renowned names such as Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, or Martin Munkácsi, has made Frida Kahlo an icon of 20th-century art.

🌈 Frida decided to become a painter after an accident during her adolescence. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 propelled her into the artistic spotlight, not only in Mexico but also in the United States and Europe.

✨ Personalities like André Breton praised her work and included the painter in the international circle of Surrealists. In 1939, her works were exhibited in Paris where Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp admired them.

📖 This book offers readers the opportunity to explore Frida Kahlo's paintings like never before. Through superb reproductions and in interaction with famous photos of the artist, it presents works from private collections, difficult to access for the general public, as well as others believed to be lost or not exhibited for over 80 years.

✍🏼 Drawings, excerpts from her intimate journal, letters, and a biography richly illustrated with photographs of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul – Frida's house and the center of her universe – provide a very personal insight into the life and artistic universe of Frida Kahlo.
