Chronicle Books, 2008 Frida and Diegos gift to us.....50 years later.

The sidebars identifying many of the "real people" who appear in the film are helpful, but the best part is the side-by-side comparison of the paintings & the moments in Frida's life which inspired them. The wedding sequence is especially illuminating: the scene from the shooting script, the stills of Frida ...             El Diario de Frida Kahlo: un intimo autorretrato3 reviews Frida Kahlo "Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2005 It's a great book and it has so much detail about a master. Frida was more than an artist, she was a woman who knew what she wanted and how to get it. Her only downfall was that she had deep doubts inside her most inner self and shared it with very few. I guess we all do, but she always wanted people to think she was though when in fact she was very fragile.             Frida : A Biography of Frida Kahlo33 reviews Hayden Herrera Perennial, 2002 Brilliant I bought this book after re-watching the movie taken largely from this exhaustive biography. As someone who has read many bios, let me say that this is a refreshing and encouraging alternative to the fawning and excessive grocery store drivel and/or the dull and fact-filled dissertations that describe most biographies. Hayden Herrera manages to combine a staggeringly comprehensive detailing of ...             Frida Kahlo Postcard Book (Collectible Postcards)4 reviews Frida Kahlo Chronicle Books, 1991 BEAUTIFUL SELF PORTRAITS OF AN AMAZING WOMAN!

They are great fun and will shock your friends when they think your Kahlo obsession has finally gone overboard! FYI, there are only four tatoos included, but for the price it is well worth it.
