Art Masters: Frida Kahlo by Caroline Bugler

Widely revered for as a feminist icon and as a ground-breaking Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo led a fascinating life. In this concise biography, the author takes a look at the influences on Kahlo's work: her early childhood; the fascination with the mythology of earlier Mexican civilisations and Mexicanidad; surrealism; and portraiture as well as exploring the works for which she became so renowned. Showcasing her full-colour artwork throughout, this is a great introduction to one of the 20th century's most popular female artists. The Art Masters series brings together beautiful hardback monographs of some of the most significant artists in history, looking at their lives, techniques and inspirations, as well as presenting a lavish selection of their best work.
