Description

La mejor biografia que se ha escrito sobre Frida Kahlo, la pintora mexicana por excelencia.

Edicion revisada con prologo de Valeria Luiselli.

Frida fue una figura mitica creada por si misma, el centro exotico de una esfera que incluia a amigos como Leon Trotski y Nelson Rockefeller, Isamu Noguchi y Andre Breton, Dolores del Rio y Paulette Goddard. Fue esposa del gran muralista Diego Rivera y artista brillante por derecho propio.

Esta edicion ampliamente revisada de la biografia de la pintora mexicana por excelencia nos revela a una mujer con un magnetismo y una originalidad legendarios, cuya vida fue tan dramatica y obsesiva como las imagenes que pintaba. La sensualidad de sus cuadros, el ambiente extran~o y denso que los impregna, surgieron directamente de sus propias experiencias: su infancia durante la Revolucion, el devastador accidente sufrido a los dieciocho an~os, su vinculo con el Partido Comunista a traves de Diego Rivera, su pasion por el folclore y la cultura de Mexico... Frida realizo una fascinante obra autobiografica plasmada en la pintura: una irresistible serie de autorretratos que representaban el desarrollo de su urgente necesidad de conocerse a si misma, creados entre 1926 y 1954, fecha en que murio.

Quienes la conocieron relatan la historia de su vida como una novela llena de encanto y joie de vivre, hasta el tragico final. Pese a que la verdad es mas desoladora, la historia de Frida Kahlo sigue siendo tan extraordinaria como la leyenda que creo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Revised Edition.

Prologue by Valeria Luiselli.

Born near Mexico City, she grew up during the turbulent days of the Mexican Revolution and, at eighteen, was the victim of an accident that left her crippled and unable to bear children. To salvage what she could from her unhappy situation, Kahlo had to learn to keep still - so she began to paint. Kahlo's unique talent was to make her one of the century's most enduring artists. But her remarkable paintings were only one element of a rich and dramatic life. Frida is also the story of her tempestuous marriage to the muralist Diego Rivera, her love affairs with numerous, diverse men such as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky, her involvement with the Communist Party, her absorption in Mexican folklore and culture, and of the inspiration behind her unforgettable art.
