Inspired by the intensity of Frida Kahlo, Spanish artist María Hesse tells the story of the love and creativity of the Mexican icon in a richly illustrated biography. She honors Kahlo with drawings that enter into an almost magical symbiosis with her, while casting a unique light on this extraordinary life. A body marked by pain and passion, a fantasy populated by both enchanting and disturbing images, an enthusiastic and persistent gaze upon the world—Frida Kahlo's allure remains unbroken. With unparalleled willpower, she defied the burdens that life imposed on her, lived with a free spirit, loved with an open heart, and created artworks of radiant impact. She remains unforgettable for her refusal to live in the shadow of her great love, Diego Rivera, and for her brave break with societal norms.
