Riassunto

Gloria Montero’s award-winning 'Frida K.--A Dialogue for a Single Actress' takes place on the day of Frida’s first and only solo exhibition in her native Mexico. As Frida, devastated by poor health, prepares not only for her exhibition but for her approaching death she rages about what her life has been in an ongoing dialogue with Death itself. Her tormented marriage to muralist Diego Rivera, his many infidelities, her own affairs with Trotsky and others, are all told against a background of the fashionable art scenes of Paris and New York, the Mexican Revolution and the Spanish Civil War. In this ruthless encounter with her own end, Frida reveals how a life of crippling pain has been transformed into paintings of terrifying power. The book includes photos from different productions.
