Lettres à Diego Rivera

by Frida Kahlo, Roland Béhar (Translator), Patrizia Cavalli

Ce petit recueil réunit, pour la première fois, les portraits hauts en couleur de Frida Kahlo par Patrizia Cavalli et de Diego Rivera par Frida Kahlo.
Un nouveau regard sur leur destin, qui replace au coeur de leur histoire leur commune passion pour la peinture, qui les liait intimement : leur histoire d'amour tragique, vouée à un échec prévisible et lucidement prévu, se reflète dans une petite sélection de lettres que Frida a adressées à Diego, jusqu'à la fin de sa vie.

About the author

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.
