Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Frida Kahlo's stormy relationship with fellow artist Diego Rivera and how it affected her works is the subject of this fascinating study. Generously illustrated with works by both artists as well as contemporary photographs, this volume sheds new light on the life and imagery of one of the twentieth century's greatest women artists.
Present-day perceptions of Mexican art are dominated by Frida Kahlo, whose powerful self-portraits and portrayals of emotional trauma have gained enormous popularity. Her relationship with the painter Diego Rivera is mirrored in many of her stunning paintings, which combine motifs of folk art with a deeply personal symbolism.
