Book Reviews of Frida Kahlo
Book Review: A fascinating depiction
Summary: 4 Stars
When I was a college student 30 years ago I was fortunate enough to live in Coyoacan and visit Frida Kahlo's house a number of times. Coyoacan is quaint and charming and colorful. To walk the ancient streets is to enter a dream.
Seeing Frida Kahlo's work for the first time was startling. The honesty took me aback. Women were conditioned to keep quiet and not emote at the time and yet she literally bared all.
She fascinated me and I was drawn to her art, her homes and her life with Diego Rivera.
Hayden Herrera's book is a well researched and vivid depiction of a life fraught with challenge, triumph, disappointment, courage and eventual surrender. Her love for Diego was epic.
Another book about Diego Rivera that depicts the struggle of his first wife Angeline Beloff, also a great artist, is called "House on the Bridge: Ten Turbulent Years with Diego Rivera". In it one sees his struggle to define himself and realize the importance of Mexico and its culture to him. Living in exile made him crave the color, romance and passion of Mexico. Though he married Lupe Marin on his return; Frida was the great passionate love affair of his life. Yes, he had many but she was his match in many ways.
