Więcej o książce
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), one of the greatest women artists, is renowned for her vibrant self-portraits that express her psychological and physical pain following a life-altering accident at eighteen. While her self-portraits have garnered significant attention, her still lifes—approximately forty in total—have not been closely examined until now. This groundbreaking study by Kahlo scholar Salomon Grimberg delves into all documented still lifes, including recently discovered pieces. As both a psychiatrist and art historian, Grimberg offers fresh insights into Kahlo's creative process, demonstrating how these still lifes complement her self-portraits and reveal her true self. Rich in symbolic imagery from pre-Hispanic Mexico and other cultures, these works reflect Kahlo's introspections on loneliness and mortality. The book features beautiful reproductions of her still lifes alongside other relevant paintings, drawings, and personal photographs, making it essential for understanding the dramatic life and artistry of this extraordinary woman.
