Discover Frida Kahlo's introspective and imaginative world through stunning visuals. This large full colour art book is new and sealed and perfect for gifting. Five fun facts about Frida: 1. Her father was German and her mother was Mexican. 2. She had over 35 surgeries during her lifetime to fix severe injuries she suffered from being in a bus crash at age 18. 3. She painted her illnesses and disabilities (in self portraits) from her bed during recovery as a way to cope with pain and isolation. 4. Too ill to walk, she arrived at one of her art exhibitions in an ambulance, was carried in on a stretcher, and attended it lying in a bed! 5. After her death, she became known as a feminist icon due to her bisexuality, many affairs with men and women, her gender neutral clothing, her facial hair, and her refusal to conform to conservative and traditional female gender norms.
