{"product_id":"frida-kahlo-1","title":"Frida Kahlo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe arresting pictures of \u003cstrong\u003eFrida Kahlo\u003c\/strong\u003e (1907-54) were in many ways expressions of trauma. 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\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 383650085X\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9783836500852\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Kettenmann, Andrea\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Jul 2015)","offer_id":46414416904389,"sku":"9783836500852","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9783836500852.jpg?v=1781865007","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/frida-kahlo-1","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
