This is a beautifully illustrated hardback introduction to one of Mexico’s most iconic and intensely personal artists.
This richly visual book explores the breadth and emotional power of Kahlo’s work, tracing her deeply autobiographical paintings—from early, visceral depictions of physical suffering and inner turmoil to the later works shaped by ongoing pain and resilience.
Beecroft deftly situates Kahlo’s art within the context of her turbulent life, offering readers insight into how her experiences, identity, and cultural heritage informed her bold, symbolic style.
With approximately 128 pages and numerous illustrations, this volume in the Masterpieces of Art series makes an accessible yet thoughtful addition to any art lover’s collection.
The painful, exquisite art of Mexico’s favourite artist was a product of immense physical pain, and an emotionally tumultuous life. The new book features the range and power of her heavily autobiographical work, from the early, disturbing explorations of personal suffering to the more dulled, painkiller-drenched paintings of her later life.
