Title : Frida Kahlo Self-Portrait of a Woman - Rauda Jamis - book
Summary :
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) lived a brief life torn between terrible physical suffering (at eighteen, a bus accident left her bedridden for two years) and an immense creative force (she began to paint, a mirror placed above her, while she was immobilized). Beyond her famous beauty, her loves, those of her husband, Diego Rivera, her travels, the thousand and one anecdotes punctuating a tumultuous and rich existence, remains her art, which André Breton said is "a ribbon around a bomb."
In a book that alternates between description and self-portrait, Rauda Jamis demonstrates a sensitive and intimate knowledge of Frida Kahlo. She revisits a now-mythical era, from revolutionary Mexico to surrealist Paris in the 1930s, via the ultra-chic New York salons.
