Frida Kahlo Libri

Frida fu una donna che diede alla sua creatività ali per fuggire dal dolore. Una malattia infantile e un grave incidente segnarono la sua giovane vita, ma la straripante personalità, il desiderio di ribellione e il suo straordinario carattere la fecero emergere come una delle grandi icone femminili del XX secolo. Amò molto, liberamente e appassionatamente, e condivise con intellettuali e artisti una vita ricca di esperienze. La sua genialità e le sue vicende rimasero impresse nelle sue opere variopinte, grazie alle quali divenne una delle artiste più note del XX secolo.

In una serie di lettere la pittrice messicana Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), oggi considerata tra le piu significative artiste del ventesimo secolo, racconta la sua vita, la sua arte, le sue tragedie (la poliomelite contratta da piccola e l'incidente stradale che, diciottenne, la rese invalida costringendola a continue operazioni), i suoi sogni e i suoi amori: la sua passione per Alejandro, il lacerante rapporto con l'artista Diego Rivera, la sua adesione al marxismo. Il libro e arricchito da un ampio apparato iconografico, in bianco e nero.

42 selected master works by legendary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. A special bargain in first-class Schirmer/Mosel quality.

Die faszinierenden Bilder von Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) waren in vielerlei Hinsicht Ausdruck ihrer Traumata. Ein fast tödlicher Unfall mit 18, gesundheitliche Probleme, eine turbulente Ehe, Fehlgeburten und Kinderlosigkeit: Die Malerin verwandelte ihre persönlichen Schicksalsschläge in revolutionäre Kunst . In ihren Selbstporträts blickt Kahlo den Betrachter mutig und herausfordernd an. Sie lehnte es ab, die Rolle des passiven Opfers einzunehmen, und verarbeitete stattdessen ihre Erfahrungen zu einer hybriden surreal-realen Sprache des Lebens , bestehend aus Haaren, Wurzeln, Adern, Ranken, Tentakeln und Eileitern. Viele ihrer Werke befassen sich auch mit den politischen Idealen des Kommunismus , die Kahlo mit ihrem Mann Diego Rivera teilte. Die Künstlerin beschreibt ihre Bilder selbst als „ das ehrlichste und wahrhaftigste, das ich tun konnte, um auszudrücken, was ich innerlich und äußerlich fühlte “. Dieser Band präsentiert eine Auswahl an Kahlos Werken und untersucht ihre Bedeutung als Malerin, feministische Ikone und Vertreterin der Kultur Lateinamerikas.

At eighteen, a bus accident changed Frida Kahlo's life, leaving her with lifelong pain. However, her determination and hard work fostered her artistic talent. Her paintings and writings reflect the courageous life story of a woman who continually sought herself alongside the famous Diego Rivera.

The intimate life of artist Frida Kahlo is wonderfully revealed in the illustrated journal she kept during her last 10 years. This passionate and at times surprising record contains the artist's thoughts, poems, and dreams; many reflecting her stormy relationship with her husband, artist Diego Rivera, along with 70 mesmerising watercolour illustrations. The text entries in brightly coloured inks make the journal as captivating to look at as it is to read. Her writing reveals the artist's political sensibilities, recollections of her childhood, and her enormous courage in the face of more than thirty-five operations to correct injuries she had sustained in an accident at the age of eighteen.

Frida Kahlo's legacy continues to grow in the public imagination in the nearly fifty years since her "discovery" in the 1970s. This collection of conversations over the course of her brief career allows a peek at the woman behind the hype. And allows us to see the image of herself she carefully crafted for the public.Frida Kahlo is now an icon. In the decades since her death, Kahlo has been celebrated as a proto-feminist, a misunderstood genius, and a leftist hero, but during her lifetime most knew her as ... Diego Rivera's wife. Featuring conversations with American scholar and Marxist, Bertram D. Wolfe, and art critic Raquel Tibol, this collection shows an artist undervalued, but also a woman in control of her image. From her timid beginnings after her first solo show, to a woman who confidently states that she is her only influence, the many faces of Kahlo presented here clearly show us the woman behind the "Fridamania" we know today.

A private entry from Frida Kahlo's journal, hidden for nearly four decades, is vividly brought to life through stunning illustrations in this picture book. The work captures the essence of Kahlo's artistic spirit and personal reflections, offering readers a unique glimpse into her thoughts and emotions. The combination of her words and the visual artistry creates an engaging experience that celebrates her legacy and invites exploration of her inner world.
