Extravagantly beautiful and psychologically complex, Frida Kahlo was a legend in her lifetime. Nearly 40 years after her death, that legend has evolved into a myth. In this collection of 70 photographs, many never before published, Kahlo is shown as innocent, comic, seductress, political activist, and mystery by such diverse photographers as Ansel Adams and Gisele Freund.
The pictures are gorgeous and I liked Elena Ponitowskas essay in the book so much that I translated it into Swedish (my mother tongue), and now I'm illustrating it!
great pictures

ok, it's such a cliché, but frida kahlo herself is as fascinating as her art, and here are the pics to prove it. if it's out of pirnt, well, it's a good chance to take the trip to mexico and buy it, really worth it.
