Frida Kahlo: Face to Face

At once deeply personal and brilliantly perceptive, this dynamic reconsideration of the life and work of Frida Kahlo is curated by the prominent feminist artist Judy Chicago, who helped introduce American audiences to Kahlo’s paintings.

For decades Judy Chicago has worked tirelessly to ensure that women’s artistic achievements become a permanent part of our cultural heritage. In this sumptuous, large format book, she turns her attention to the work of Frida Kahlo, one of the world’s most revered female painters. In this volume Chicago, together with her collaborator, art historian Frances Borzello, has handpicked a selection of Kahlo’s work, a hundred portraits that speak to the full spectrum of women’s experience. The result is a fascinating “conversation” between two artistic icons, one that is further enhanced by a dialogue between Chicago and Borzello, an authority on women’s portraiture.

This new Frida Kahlo art book features each work on its own spread, facing commentary by Chicago and Borzello. Essays explore Kahlo’s many facets: woman, artist, historical figure, and inspiration. Designed to evoke a Mexican retablo, or altarpiece, this volume reframes Frida Kahlo for a contemporary audience.
