The Two Fridas
by Frida Kahlo and Gianluca Folì
Description
Frida Kahlo kept a journal during the last ten years of her life (1944-1954). In it she records dreams, thoughts, memories and ideas that she later expressed in her paintings, in addition to numerous drawings and sketches.
This surprising and intimate document, which was kept under lock and key for approximately forty years, contains multiple signs of this renowned Mexican artist’s complex personality.
The Two Fridas is an illustrated album where, for the first time, Frida’s voice is heard. She describes one of her first childhood memories concisely and poignantly:
her friendship, at six years old, with an imaginary friend.
