Through a near-fatal road accident at the age of 18, failing health, a turbulent marriage, miscarriage, and childlessness, she \u003cb\u003etransformed the afflictions into revolutionary art\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn literal or metaphorical self-portraiture, Kahlo looks out at the viewer with an audacious glare, rejecting her destiny as a passive victim and rather intertwining expressions of her experience into a \u003cb\u003ehybrid real-surreal language of living\u003c\/b\u003e: hair, roots, veins, vines, tendrils, and fallopian tubes. Many of her works also explore the \u003cb\u003eCommunist political ideals\u003c\/b\u003e which Kahlo shared with her husband Diego Rivera. The artist described her paintings as \u003cb\u003e\"the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book introduces the rich body of Kahlo's work to explore her unremitting determination as an artist, and her significance as a painter, feminist icon, and a pioneer of Latin American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596440027372,"sku":"9783836500852","price":45.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836500852-frida-kahlo.jpg?v=1777925508","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/frida-kahlo-by-andrea-kettenmann-9783836500852","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
