Through a near-fatal road accident at the age of 18, failing health, a turbulent marriage, miscarriage and childlessness, she \u003cstrong\u003etransformed the afflictions into revolutionary art\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In literal or metaphorical self-portraiture, Kahlo looks out at the viewer with an audacious glare, rejecting her destiny as a passive victim and rather intertwining expressions of her experience into a \u003cstrong\u003ehybrid real-surreal language of living\u003c\/strong\u003e: hair, roots, veins, vines, tendrils and fallopian tubes. Many of her works also explore the \u003cstrong\u003eCommunist political ideals\u003c\/strong\u003e which Kahlo shared with her husband Diego Rivera. The artist described her paintings as \u003cstrong\u003e\"the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book introduces the rich body of Kahlo's work to explore her unremitting determination as an artist, and her significance as a painter, feminist icon, and a pioneer of Latin American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 10.3 x 8.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53203775783275,"sku":"9783836500852","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8401\/2907\/files\/a7935ba7de6eecf87b544c0ba02e9649.webp?v=1778423231","url":"https:\/\/fraulick.com\/products\/frida-kahlo-hardcover-2","provider":"frauLick.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
