Delphi Complete Works of Frida Kahlo Illustrated

The Mexican painter Frida Kahlo is recognised as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, as her reputation soared in the decades following her untimely death in 1954. Today, Kahlo has attracted so much popular interest that the term "e;Fridamania"e; has been coined to describe the phenomenon. Her extraordinary work draws upon a diverse range of influences, including Surrealism, ancient Aztec belief, popular Mexican folklore, Christianity, Eastern philosophy and medical imagery. She is best known for her uncompromising and vibrant self portraits, which have become iconic for their raw emotion and exploration of feminine experience.
