Synopsis:
If you are just getting to know Frida Kahlo, then this book is for you….this is "Introduction to Frida Kahlo - 101". It presents an abbreviated, but concise, biography of the artist's life. You can probably read the entire book in about an hour or so. While this book is short on words it is NOT short on content. I have read at least 10 other Kahlo biographies by various authors and thought I had read it all. Not so…this book presents information, dates, details and scenarios that I have not read in other biographies. The book is very well written and organized chronologically.
This book contains 120 full page color illustrations of Frida's art. Some are paintings, some are drawings and some are sketches from the pages of her personal diary. If you are looking for a discussion of her art you won't find it here. This book is strictly biographical. It does, however, provide the title, year, medium and current location for each painting/drawing illustrated.
I highly recommend this book for new "Kahlo Fans" or for those who are just curious about this icon painter from Mexico. It is one of the best, if not the best, book for beginners. If you haven't seen the 2003 Miramax documentary film "Frida" staring Salma Hayek as Frida, I highly recommend watching that movie….but read this book first and the movie will be much more meaningful and easier to follow. You won't be disappointed by either.
