Reading this collection of Frida's correspondence was revelatory! You see, other than my quick, but promising perusal of painter Eugene Delacroix's letters, I have never bothered to pursue letters as a kind of close reading: that has just changed! Here we have this distant, world class painter and a first-rate feminist saint, a personage already misted over by the fog of time and legend, when, suddenly, one can read her mail! What a charmer she was! A sweetheart! A basic, decent, down-to-earth, endearing woman who was a great friend, girl-friend, and wife, judging by her humorous and philosophical letters, filled with profanity, slang, endearments, with snatches of poetry and gossip. And living like this so courageously while enduring a world of physical pain and emotional torment (thank you Diego Rivera)! How I would have liked to have known her! (Disclosure: I have been to her house twice and, when asking for directions within her neighborhood, no one there knew who she was!) By the way, this volume is magnicent to hold:, its paper, binding, marginalia, and notations are a pleasure to peruse! ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The only volume of its kind, The Letters of Frida Kahlo reveals fascinating details about Kahlo's romances, friendships, and business affairs in a selection of letters to friends, collectors, doctors, family, politicians, lovers, and, of course, Diego Rivera. In over 80 pieces, Kahlo discusses her art, politics, and tragedies with a passionate energy that no biographer of this important artist could ever capture. The Letters of Frida Kahlo, full of ardent desires, seething fury, and outrageous humor, will delight the many fans of her art with a glimpse into an exuberant and troubled existence.
