{"product_id":"frida-kahlo-9781786277114","title":"Frida Kahlo","description":"Step into the world of Frida Kahlo: behind the portraits and the surrealist art discover the fascinating woman who has transfixed the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFridamania has made Frida Kahlo's image ubiquitous: she has been reborn as a Halloween costume, Barbie doll, children's book character, textile print, phone cover and the inspiration for everything from cocktails to fashion shoots. But it is more difficult to get a clear vision of this bold and brilliant, foul-mouthed, heavy-drinking, hard-smoking, husband-stealing, occasionally bisexual, often bed-bound, wheelchair-using, needy, forthright and passionate woman. Hettie Judah sets out to correct that with this superb biography of one of the most charismatic artists of the last hundred years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollow Frida's life through tumultuous love and life-altering accidents, towards recognition in the art world from the likes of Andr  Breton and Marcel Duchamp, to becoming the first Mexican artist held at the Louvre. Judah delves into Kahlo's experiences and how these came together to inspire the art that has been described as an uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. From an early battle with Polio, to a debilitating bus accident at 18, through love and heart ache, the life of Frida Kahlo was one of pain but a pain that bore great beauty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHettie Judah is a contributing writer for publications including \u003ci\u003ethe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFrieze\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eArt Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLives of the Artists\u003c\/b\u003e is a new series by Laurence King.
