FRIDA KAHLO: THE PAINTER AND HER WORK

One of the world’s foremost scholars on Frida Kahlo’s art looks past the hype to focus on the artist’s technique and motifs. Reproductions of Kahlo's paintings, along with selected details, are accompanied by observations about the role of physical and mental suffering in her creative process, Kahlo’s mastery and reinvention of European traditions, and the wealth of coded and metaphorical elements hidden in her work. A rich and rewarding exploration of an artist whose reputation is too often stifled by a single narrative.
