Frida
: A Biography of Frida Kahlo by Hayden
Herrera Book Description: Hailed by readers and critics across the country,
this engrossing biography of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo reveals a woman
of extreme magnetism and originality, an artist whose sensual vibrancy
came straight from her own experiences: her childhood near Mexico City
during the Mexican Revolution; a devastating accident at age eighteen that
left her crippled and unable to bear children; her tempestuous marriage
to muralist Diego Rivera and intermittent love affairs with men as diverse
as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky; her association with the Communist Party;
her absorption in Mexican folklore and culture; and her dramatic love of
spectacle.
Here is the tumultuous life of an extraordinary twentieth-century woman
-- with illustrations as rich and haunting as her legend.
