زیبا مثل ماگنولیا: نگاهی به زندگی و آثار فریدا کالو

by Gerry Souter, نیلوفر آقاابراهیمی (Translator)

They met in 1928; Frida Kahlo was then 21 years old and Diego Rivera was twice her age. He was already an international reference, she only aspired to become one. An intense artistic creation, along with pain and suffering, was generated by this tormented union, in particular for Frida. Constantly in the shadow of her husband, bearing his unfaithfulness and her jealousy, Frida exorcised the pain on canvas, and progressively won the public’s interest. On both continents, America and Europe, these committed artists proclaimed their freedom and left behind them the traces of their exceptional talent. In this book, Gerry Souter brings together both biographies and underlines with passion the link which existed between the two greatest Mexican artists of the 20th century.

What a wonderful book. A comprehensive view on Frida and Diego's life and art, full of illustrations of their work and other artists' as well. Frida and Diego's fiery personalities and paradoxes couldn't hide their love for each other. This book is divided in two, to give each artist their on story.

Me asombro la biografía de Diego, lo único que no me agrado es el orden de las imágenes, deberían de contar una historia o ser parte de ella.
