Writer (Herrera) gave a summary of Frido’s life. Very well done and helpful. Review: Beautiful Book Opens up Frida's life - The illustrations and narrative are both lovely. I thought I knew everything I needed to about this fascinating woman and her life. I learned much more and I can appreciate her paintings with more insight. I originally bought this to give as a birthday present for a 13 year old. It is not appropriate for a sheltered 13 year old. So I kept if for myself. I keep it out on a book table where I can look at it from time to time.

A Great Book about a Great Artist
I am a serious fan of the life and work of Frida Kahlo and this book is a good addition to the material I already have on hand. This book combines good biographical material, a great collection of fine reproductions of Frida's paintings plus a good description of many of the paintings. For anyone really interested in the life and work of Frida Kahlo, this book is a must.

beautiful book, great condition, delight to read
I received the book in NEW condition and within the time expected. The quality of the paper is wonderful so it will hold up to many years of referencing without tearing apart. Photos are beautifully done and plentiful and the text is an easy read. Would recommend it to anyone interested in Frida Kahlo.

Great Book!
I was trying to find a good book about the late Ms. Frida Kahlo and in my search, I came across this book. Honestly, the price really caught my attention. So, I purchased the book and wasn't able to put it down. It was able to start my journey to really read even more of the rollercoaster life of Ms. Kahlo. Plus the Author really gives good detail on each art piece featured in his book. I highly recommend this book.

Best Frida Book
I'm a huge Frida fan (I named my dog after her) and have many books on her, this book is my favorite! It contains a lot of her art, including my personal favorites, and I love the art theory meshed into the art history. The best Frida book out there for true fans of Frida and art history!!

I bought this book for my daughter’s Christmas gift, and I know she will absolutely adore it. A real coffee table talking point, as well as being full of colourful Photos of the artist’s work. A book she will cherish.

フリーダの展覧会に行けなかったことをきっかけに画集を探したのですが、 満足する内容でした。著名な絵がたくさん入っていることに加え、プライベート写真も多く、創作と生涯の記録と言えます。青くて固い果実がやがて熟れ、そして実を落とすように、フリーダの様々な表情を感じられます。胸をえぐられるような作品から、ほっと涙が出るようなものまで。画集は高いというイメージですが、この内容でこの価格はお得だと思います。
