Frida Kahlo par Frida Kahlo

« Le surréalisme est la surprise magique de trouver un lion dans un placard, là où on était sûr de trouver des chemises. »
Frida Kahlo ne s’est pas contentée de peindre, elle s’est aussi confiée par écrit. Artiste de génie, femme engagée, muse tragique et amante passionnée, la grande figure du surréalisme mexicain a écrit pendant trente ans à ceux qu’elle aimait – à Diego Rivera, bien sûr – et à ses camarades de combat. Les mots de Frida Kahlo font écho à sa peinture : au fil de ses lettres d’une franchise et d’une ironie réjouissantes, l’artiste dévoile son rapport à l’art et au monde, livrant aussi plus d’un secret sur son oeuvre comme sur sa vie.
« Les missives de Frida Kahlo sont fidèles, tendres, pleines d’esprit. »

About the author

Frida Kahlo

99 books1,051 followers
Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Calderón was a Mexican painter, who has achieved great international popularity. She painted using vibrant colors in a style that was influenced by indigenous cultures of México as well as by European influences that include Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Many of her works are self-portraits that symbolically express her own pain and sexuality.

In 1929 Kahlo married the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. They shared political views, and he encouraged her artistic endeavors. Although she has long been recognized as an important painter, public awareness of her work has become more widespread since the 1970. Her "Blue" house in Coyoacán, México City is a museum, donated by Diego Rivera upon his death in 1957.
