Книга: «Frida Kahlo»
Производитель: "Prestel" Серия: "Living Art Series" A beautifully illustrated and attractively priced volume on the life and work of Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo is one of the art world`s most enigmatic figures. Beautiful, talented, tragic and strong, she broke barriers as a woman and as an artist and her story is irresistibly fascinating. This dynamically illustrated book makes use of full-page reproductions, historical photographs and the latest research to offer a balanced view of the artist and the impact her work has had in the decades since her death. The author introduces readers to the colorful world of Kahlo`s Mexico; describes the misfortune that led to the emergence of her artistic sensibility; explores Kahlo`s spiritual connection with her country`s folk art and her forays into surrealism; and details her love affairs with intellectuals and other artists, in particular her soulmate Diego Rivera. A fascinating look at a brilliant artist, this volume will appeal to Kahlo`s many ardent fans, as well as create new ones. ISBN:978-3-7913-4970-1 Издательство: "Prestel" (2014)
