Riassunto

Few artists have captured the publics imagination with the force of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. During her lifetime, she was best known as the flamboyant wife of celebrated muralist Diego Rivera. Theirs was a tumultuous relationship: Rivera declared himself to be unfit for fidelity. As if to assuage her pain, Kahlo recorded the vicissitudes of her marriage in paint. She also recorded the misery of her deteriorating health the orthopaedic corsets that she was forced to wear, the numerous spinal surgeries, the miscarriages and abortions. The artists sometimes harrowing imagery is mitigated by an intentional primitivism and small scale, as well as by her sardonic humour and extraordinary imagination.
