Frida Kahlo - The Complete Paintings

Pain and Passion: The Complete Paintings of Frida Kahlo in an XXL Edition

Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations. This monumental XXL book presents all 152 of Kahlo's paintings alongside rare photographs, diary pages, letters, and an illustrated biography.

A Revolutionary Artist:

After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from André Breton, who added her to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp.
