This book is a fascinating life story of the world—famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, one of the most striking women of the 20th century in every sense. She grew up during the turbulent days of the Mexican Revolution. At the age of eighteen, Frida became the victim of a monstrous accident that turned her entire subsequent life into an endless overcoming of physical and mental torment — and into endless creativity. Kahlo's amazing talent, tenacity, and unique worldview have created one of the most prominent artists of the century. But the dazzling paintings are only part of her rich and dramatic life. This book contains a candid account of Frida Kahlo's work, Frida's tumultuous marriage to the muralist Diego Rivera, her numerous love affairs, including with Leon Trotsky, her participation in the Communist Party, and her fascination with Mexican folklore and culture. In 2002, this biography, written by American writer and art historian Hayden Herrera, formed the basis for the script of the Oscar-winning film Frida.
