Pain and passion.
\nThe original and intimate art of Mexico's most famous painter.
\nFrida Kahlo's (1907-1954) striking images were, in many ways, expressions of trauma. Through a near-fatal car accident at the age of 18, health problems, a turbulent marriage, miscarriages and childlessness, she transformed her afflictions into revolutionary art. In literal or metaphorical self-portraits, Kahlo looks at the viewer with an audacious gaze, rejecting her fate as a passive victim and interweaving expressions of her experience into a surreal-real hybrid language of life: hair, roots, veins, vines, tentacles and fallopian tubes.<\/p>\n
Many of her works also explore the communist political ideals that Kahlo shared with her husband Diego Rivera. The artist described her paintings as \"the most sincere and real thing I could do to express what I felt inside and outside myself.\" This book presents an extraordinary selection of Kahlo's works that explore her uncompromising determination as an artist, her importance as a painter, feminist icon and pioneer of Latin American culture.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5228,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[113],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5118","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-livros","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
