  1. Frida is one of my favorite artists. I love her tremendous contradictions and her passionate individuality. Her biographies paint a picture of unbelievable suffering and determination. Living in the beautiful Mexican influenced city of San Antonio has given me a much deeper understanding of the culture and artistry of the country. The language, music, food and art reflect the heart of Mexico and its people. Frida is everywhere here, and always inspires me.

  2. That is not superficial or silly at all.! I think it's such an incredible thing to have something by her. I always loved the style she adopted of the tehuana women of Mexico, who were very strong, dignified and graceful. Wearing her long skirts with embroidered petticoats and flowers and ribbons, with ancient mexican jewelry with the shawls and bright colors just made her an iconic figure in her own lifetime. It is amazing that even though she did not sell much during her life, she was never overshadowed by her much more famous husband. He had tremendous respect for her art and never tried to influence her in any way, encouraging her always to be herself. I think they loved each other with a deep trust in their loyalty to the others art. Living together was something else.... I would live it if you can reccomend any other books on her that I might have missed. I've only read the one put out around the movie...
