From the Publisher:
Frida Kahlo: Photographs of Myself and Others
comprises a cache of rare and never before-published materials
from the Vicente Wolf Collection. Few artists have fully captured
the public's imagination with the power of Mexican painter Frida
Kahlo. As an incomparable artist, political activist, and the
wife of celebrated muralist Diego Rivera, Kahlo's life was alternately
joyous and tragic. This astonishing collection brings together
portraits of Kahlo by such luminaries as Manuel Alvarez Bravo,
Tina Modotti, Julien Levy, and Lucienne Bloch as well as snapshots
of Frida and Diego at work and at home. Selections from the collection
have been featured in the major exhibition, Frida Kahlo, organized
by the Walker Art Center and later shown at the Philadelphia Museum
of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This book presents
a fresh and captivating look at the iconic artist, her exuberant
husband, and their coterie of famous friends.
