Description

Frida Kahlo is a legendary figure in modern art: images of and by Kahlo, both photographs and self-portraits, are recognized world-wide. This book explores the life and art of Frida Kahlo, cutting through `Fridamania' to look closely at the myths, contradictions and ambiguities that riddle her story.
