Grenzmann Teresa - Frida Kahlo - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Life and work of the artist and style icon Frida Kahlo in a compact overview. Frida Kahlo has become an icon of art with her powerfully expressive work. Her pictures not only reflect a view of herself her fears the biography of her illness her passions and her joie de vivre; they also take up subjects which were regarded by society as taboo. As a pioneer of the feminist movement this Mexican artist serves women the world over as a figure of identification. Pride and strength vulnerability and bitterness all lie close to each other in Frida Kahlo's art. Her self - portraits which make up the principal part of her work not infrequently show a charismatic woman dressed in traditional Tehuana costume which the artist wore as a visible sign of her culture and her Mexican roots but also to hide her wounds. Kahlo's biography had a direct influence on her subjects: her not uncomplicated marriage to the artist Diego Rivera her tragic accident and her childlessness loneliness and grief.
