Frida Kahlo is the most famous artist ever produced by Mexico, a focus of interest to art lovers all over the world. This book, based on the centenary retrospective exhibition at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, reflects that variety of interest.
The reproductions of sixty-four oils are accompanied by essays by a wide range of Kahlo scholars, art critics, writers, essayists, poets, anthropologists, architects, psychologists, and experts in many other disciplines, from both Mexico and other countries. These approaches show that many aspects of this iconic painter still deserve exploration.
The volume also includes some of the drawings, prints, other documentary material included in the exhibition, as well as an extensive appreciation of Frida Kahlo and her place in twentieth-century Mexican cultural life by novelist Carlos Fuentes.
