Her unmistakable face, depicted in \u003cb\u003eover fifty extraordinary self-portraits\u003c\/b\u003e, has been admired by generations. Along with \u003cb\u003ehundreds of photographs\u003c\/b\u003e taken by notable artists such as \u003cb\u003eManuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eMartin Munkácsi\u003c\/b\u003e, they made Frida Kahlo an icon of 20th century art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter. Her marriage to \u003cb\u003eDiego Rivera\u003c\/b\u003e in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the \u003cb\u003ecultural Renaissance of Mexico\u003c\/b\u003e, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet \u003cb\u003eAndré Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism\u003c\/b\u003e and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe access the intimacy of Frida's affections and passions\u003c\/b\u003e through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, and an \u003cb\u003eextensive illustrated biography\u003c\/b\u003e featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida's home and the centre of her universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book allows readers to \u003cb\u003eadmire Frida Kahlo's paintings like never before\u003c\/b\u003e, including \u003cb\u003eunprecedented detail shots\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003efamous photographs\u003c\/b\u003e.
