«Frida Kahlo, autoportrait d'une femme» is the biography of Frida Kahlo written by Rauda Jamis, published in French by Actes Sud in its Babel collection.
Rauda Jamis reconstructs the life of Frida Kahlo: the accident that confined her to bed for two years and led her to paint with a mirror above the bed, her relationship with Diego Rivera, her travels through revolutionary Mexico, surrealist Paris and the salons of New York. The author combines narrative and analysis to show how pain and self-image fuelled her work.
The work was originally published in 1985 as «Frida Kahlo, autoportrait d'une femme»; this French paperback edition belongs to the Babel collection from Actes Sud and has 416 pages.
For those interested in biographies of artists and the cultural history of revolutionary Mexico, surrealism and the intellectual circles of the interwar period.
