Frida Kahlo: The Last Interview

Frida Kahlo is now an icon. In the decades since her death, Kahlo has been celebrated as a proto-feminist, a misunderstood genius, and a leftist hero, but at the time of her brief career, most knew her as ... Diego''s wife. Featuring conversations with Marxist Bertram D. Wolfe and art critic Raquel Tibol, this collection shows an artist undervalued, but also a woman in control of her image. From a timid artist after her first solo show to a woman who confidently states that she is her only influence, the many faces of Kahlo presented in these pages make clear the foundations of the ''Fridamania'' we know today.
