Frida Kahlo. 45th Ed. (45th Edition)

Text and art and photo quality excellent . If you want to see Kahlo’s work, most or all of it seems to be here. Lots of photos too. I need to get into the text more not finished reading but the author has done the research. Book size is good. If it were a bit larger it might be better. BUT for the price it’s great! Thank goodness it isn’t the teeny Taschen size.

I study Frida- like no other artist. As I looked over the content and how this book was written, I believe this book is my favorite (biography) overall for these reasons: Frida Voice: It is through her painting that we find the best voice of who she was. Good Perspective: Taschen leads us through her entire life as an artist and a person. I believe his perspective and insights to be a more observational view- presenting different thoughts than other writings. The Paintings: I will say that I was not a fan of Frida's paintings but while reading this book became more enamored with her work. Photographs and Color Images: This book holds photographs I have never seen before. The book has beautiful black and white photographs as well as beautiful full-page images of her paintings. Finally- This book also covers not only her life, but also well as chapters of her diary, biography timeline, Diego, and the Casa Azul. Overall, I am enjoying reading this book. I feel that we get a deep look into who Frida was as a person and perhaps WHY she was the way she was. There are many references to painting styles that Frida was exposed to which at times you have to flip back and forth to different pages- but I found that I would need a break in reading to look at the images.

This is a wonderful book packed with art and photographs of Frida Kahlo never seen before. Her story is fascinating and I’ve learned so much about one of my favorite artists. The book itself is beautiful and is lovely just to look through and enjoy the photos of her art. I leave it on my coffee table only because so many have enjoyed looking through it.

If you're a fan or just want to know more about Kahlo, you can't go wrong with this book. Lavish illustrations and in depth biographical essays. Wonderful Taschen edition.

This is a beautiful book inside and out. It’s small size makes holding and traveling with this book easy and you will look cool while carrying it or sitting reading it. Also makes a beautiful edition to a book shelf or table top collection. The text is easy to read. A factual story of her artistic life, personal life experiences and marriage to Diego Rivera. Mixed with photographs and paintings of Frida and others. In a time where young women are wearing Frida t-shirts and dressing as her for Halloween we owe it to this artist to educate the masses on who she was. This is a great book to help teach her legacy. Buy this for anyone in your life that says they like Frida Kahlo.

Textbook for college classes on graphic novels and popular culture. Its a generic history textbook on an important artist.

While I would have loved the larger coffee table-sized book, this one still delivers clear inspiring reproductions of Kahlo's evocative work for an accessible price. I enjoyed the history of the works of art and the sense of what an authentic visionary she was. Love her bravery and artistry.

This is a must for Frida fans. The book itself is beautiful sitting on an end table. I love that it discusses the different artistic periods she went through. Learning a lot about this amazing woman!

¡Es un museo y más! Trae muchas fotografías que yo desconocía, información valiosa. Me gusta la presentación y llegó en un día! Recomendable!

Prachtig boek. Veel afbeeldingen van haar schilderijen en een intens levensverhaal. Aanrader!!

I LOVE the book. However, the book was quite damaged as you can see on arrival. That was disappointing.

Jede Lektüre über Frida Kahlo ist es wert. Das Buch von Taschen ist darüber hinaus wunderschön illustriert und beinhaltet fundierte Informationen über Werk und Leben dieser herausragenden Künstlerin.

Great frida book, and so cheap.
