Letters of Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo's letters, collected here for the first time, represent a wealth of information about the vivid and tragic life of this great Mexican painter. In over 80 missives to her friends, family, enemies, and lovers, Kahlo reveals a dark humor, striking intensity, and genuine warmth. She wrote, as her translator and editor Martha Zamora explains, "honestly and without reserve, employing all the vocabulary at her disposal to convey her thoughts and emotions." To read this selection of her passionate letters is to be awarded a glimpse into the soul of one of the 20th century's most imaginative artists.Zamora, Martha is the author of 'Letters of Frida Kahlo', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756767396 and ISBN 0756767393.
