Description

Frida Kahlo (1907–54) is widely recognised as one of the defining artists of the twentieth century. Her uncompromising vision, self-fashioning and fearless portrayal of the self have all established her as a beloved global icon.

This introduction opens an intimate window into Kahlo’s world, exploring how Mexican traditions, revolutionary ideals and animist cosmovisions shaped her life and work. It traces her journey from Coyoacán, through her travels to the United States and Paris, and back to an adventurous life in Mexico, filled with artistic exchanges, fiestas and corridos, but also chronic illness and suffering. Delving into the many layers of an artist who defied categorisation, this book looks at Kahlo’s constant reimagining of the self as a disabled, mestiza woman, and invites the reader to engage with her legacy in new ways.
