{"product_id":"kahlo","title":"Kahlo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe arresting pictures of \u003cstrong\u003eFrida Kahlo\u003c\/strong\u003e (1907-54) were in many ways expressions of trauma. Through a near-fatal road accident at the age of 18, failing health, a turbulent marriage, miscarriage and childlessness, she \u003cstrong\u003etransformed the afflictions into revolutionary art\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In literal or metaphorical self-portraiture, Kahlo looks out at the viewer with an audacious glare, rejecting her destiny as a passive victim and rather intertwining expressions of her experience into a \u003cstrong\u003ehybrid real-surreal language of living\u003c\/strong\u003e: hair, roots, veins, vines, tendrils and fallopian tubes. Many of her works also explore the \u003cstrong\u003eCommunist political ideals\u003c\/strong\u003e which Kahlo shared with her husband Diego Rivera. The artist described her paintings as \u003cstrong\u003e\"the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book introduces the rich body of Kahlo's work to explore her unremitting determination as an artist, and her significance as a painter, feminist icon, and a pioneer of Latin American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\r","brand":"Andrea Kettenmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (English)","offer_id":44440934220012,"sku":"9783836500852","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hardcover (French)","offer_id":44440934252780,"sku":"9783836500845","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hardcover (Spanish)","offer_id":44440934285548,"sku":"9783836500807","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9783836500852.jpg?v=1708833346","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/kahlo","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
