• Annotation:
• A conversation between Frida and Death, where Frida tells her life story. Frida's life is one of drama, romance, tragedy and pain. "This graphic novel brilliantly and artfully depicts the story of Frida Kahlo, one of the 20th century's most enigmatic artists. Blending facts and history with dreamlike and surreal sequences, Vanna Vinci creates an intimate portrayal of an artist who incorporated her life experiences into her art. Kahlo's burning love and crushing loss, her incredible joy and deep despair are all captured in boldly colored, minutely detailed illustrations--an evocative, fittingly passionate tribute to a legendary figure"--Back cover.
