Summary:
Frida Kahlo's (1907-1954) arresting pictures were in many ways expressions of trauma. This richly illustrated Basic Art book offers a both accessible and informed introduction to Kahlo's life and work, looking at the artist's dramatic, colourful canvases which combined religious Mexican tradition with Surrealist elements.
