SHIPPING OFFERED
First edition. Hardcover. Published by Walker Art Centre, U.S.
Few artists have captured the public's imagination with the force of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo.
In celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of Kahlos birth, this major new monograph is published on the occasion of the 2007-08 traveling exhibition.
It features the artists most renowned work--the hauntingly seductive and often brutal self-portraits--as well as a selection of key portraits and still lifes; more than 100 color plates, from Kahlos earliest works, made in 1926, to her last, in 1954; critical essays by Elizabeth Carpenter, Hayden Herrera and Victor Zamudio-Taylor; and a selection of photographs of Kahlo and Rivera by preeminent photographers of the period, including Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Gisele Freund, Tina Modotti and Nickolas Muray.
The catalogue also contains snapshots from the artists own photo albums of Kahlo with family and friends such as André Breton and Leon Trotsky--some of which have never been published, and several of which Kahlo inscribed with dedications, effaced with self-deprecating marks or kissed with a lipstick trace--plus an extensive illustrated timeline, selected bibliography, exhibition history and index.
