El Listón Y La Bomba. El Arte de Frida Kahlo / The Ribbon and the Bomb: Frida Kahlo's Art
En su l cido ensayo, Helena Ch vez Mac Gregor deambula entre estas preguntas con el fin de desaprender lo que sabe del gran cono cultural que es Frida Kahlo para entrar a su obra desde nuestro presente. A partir del an lisis de diez pinturas, la autora propone sustituir la dominante interpretaci n autobiogr fica de las obras con una lectura en clave de autorretrato. De tal manera, en vez de un manido historial cl nico aparece una representaci n siempre cambiante y transitoria de la experiencia vital de la artista.
Las exploraciones literarias sobre la maternidad, la enfermedad y la sororidad de Maggie Nelson, Ocean Vuong y Cristina Rivera Garza; las visiones futuristas de China Mi ville; la potencia antirracista de Fe/derico Navarrete y Y snaya Elena A. Gil; la mirada sobre el mundo no humano de Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers y Vinciane Despret, y la subversi n queer y feminista de Johanna Hedva y Sara Ahmed se entrecruzan con relatos ntimos de la ensayista en este gran bordado verbal que renueva la manera de interpretar la obra de la artista m s famosa de M xico.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Was Frida Kahlo really a great artist? What makes her work important? Why is she one of the most influential artists of our time? Is it possible to take a fresh approach to her paintings?
Helena Ch vez Mac Gregor poses these questions in an effort to put aside Kahlo's status as a cultural icon and examine her works through a contemporary lens. In this insightful essay, she analyzes ten of the artist's paintings, suggesting that, rather than their traditional interpretation as autobiographical, they be viewed more as self-portraits. Doing so reveals them in a fresh perspective, as fleeting snapshots of Kahlo's evolving life experience.
Maggie Nelson, Ocean Vuong and Cristina Rivera Garza's literary musings on motherhood, illness and sisterhood; the futuristic visions of China Mi ville; the antiracist politics of Fe/derico Navarrete and Y snaya Elena A. Gil; Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers and Vinciane Despret's explorations of the non-human world; and the queer and feminist subversion of Johanna Hedva and Sara Ahmed are interwoven with the essayist's personal anecdotes in this grand verbal tapestry that offers a new interpretation of the work of Mexico's most famous artist.
