FRIDA KAHLO: HER PHOTOS

FRIDA KAHLO: HER PHOTOS is the substantial book accompanying the travelling exhibition of the same name, recently on view at the Glenbow in Calgary. Drawn from a newly rediscovered archive, the 500 photographs reveal powerful connections to Kahlo’s life, paintings, and psychological, cultural and political preoccupations. Whether shot by Kahlo, her father, or her friends and colleagues (including Tina Modotti, Edward Weston, and Manuel Alvarez Bravo), the images are organized thematically by Hilda Trujillo Soto of the Frida Kahlo Museum and discussed by seven guest essayists.
