Frida Kahlo - Her Universe (Relié)

The iconic Mexican painter as seen through nearly 300 archival items, from her wardrobe to her personal art collection. This compendium presents the rich diversity of themes, ideas and concepts generated around two fondamental, iconic figures of modem Mexico : painter Frida Kahlo and her husband, muralist Diego Rivera. The images from the archive of the Museo Frida Kahlo in Mexico City offer readers a glimpse of Kahlo's distinctive wardrobe and the impressive collections of popular and pre-Hispanic art she assembled with Rivera, her connection with photography and the history of La Casa Azul, her beloved cobalt-blue home that now serves as the museum's main building.
This volume welcomes us into Frida Kahlo's universe, exploring the legacy of an indispensable figure in the world of 20th-century art and culture in her native Mexico and across the globe.
