Through a near-fatal road accident at the age of 18, failing health, a turbulent marriage, miscarriage and childlessness, she \u003cb\u003etransformed the afflictions into revolutionary art\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In literal or metaphorical self-portraiture, Kahlo looks out at the viewer with an audacious glare, rejecting her destiny as a passive victim and rather intertwining expressions of her experience into a \u003cb\u003ehybrid real-surreal language of living\u003c\/b\u003e: hair, roots, veins, vines, tendrils and fallopian tubes. Many of her works also explore the \u003cb\u003eCommunist political ideals\u003c\/b\u003e which Kahlo shared with her husband Diego Rivera. The artist described her paintings as \u003cb\u003e\"the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book introduces the rich body of Kahlo's work to explore her unremitting determination as an artist, and her significance as a painter, feminist icon, and a pioneer of Latin American culture.","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43620577247321,"sku":"PR915982","price":63.3,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2551\/5502\/files\/image_TIBIX8IK05QB.jpg?v=1783782254","url":"https:\/\/smartfox.co.nz\/products\/kahlo","provider":"SmartfoxNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
