Frida Kahlo at Home Details

Review "This autumn, a new book published by Frances Lincoln celebrates the profound pleasure Kahlo took in arranging and organising her various homes throughout the course of her 47 years; Frida Kahlo at Home is a voluptuous celebration of the life and work of the artist, viewed through the prism of her various residences. In its pages, decorative artworks become a highly curated archive, and the development and use of different rooms a biographical progression." - Maisie Skidmore, AnOther Magazine"This is a new spin on Frida Kahlo - a look at the influence of Mexican culture and landscape, her beautiful homes and places she travelled to. It's a visual feast with Frida's paintings plus archival photographs of her life, and Mexico at the time. "Frida made the Blue House her sanctuary, transforming her childhood home into a work of art," writes Barbezat. In this book we get a sense of the struggles but also the joys of Frida's life, plus a glorious insight into her work." - The Australian Women's Weekly"The many people who are already fascinated with Kahlo will glean further understanding of her art and experience from this fresh study, while general readers will gain a deeper appreciation of the artist." - Marcia G. Welsh, Dartmouth Coll. Lib., Hanover, NH, Library Journal Read more About the Author Suzanne Barbezat is a writer specializing in Mexico travel, culture and food. She has also worked as a teacher and tour guide, and she holds a bachelor's degree in Anthropology from McGill University, Montreal. Read more
