“Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?” Frida Kahlo

When Frida Kahlo died in 1954, her husband Diego Rivera asked the poet Carlos Pellicer to turn her family home, the fabled Casa Azul, into a museum. Pellicer selected some paintings, drawings, photographs, books and ceramics, maintaining the space just as Kahlo and Rivera had arranged it to live and work in. The rest of the objects, clothing, documents, drawings and letters, as well as over 6,000 photographs collected by Kahlo over the course of her life, were put away in bathrooms that had been converted into storerooms. This incredible trove remained hidden for more than half a century, until, just a few years ago, these storerooms and wardrobes were opened up. Kahlo's photograph collection was a major revelation among these finds, a testimony to the tastes and interests of the famous couple, not only through the images themselves but also through the telling annotations inscribed upon them. The amazing 524-page book 'Frida Kahlo: Her Photos' allows us to speculate about Kahlo's and Rivera's likes and dislikes, and to document their family origins; it supplies a thrilling and hugely significant addition to our knowledge of Kahlo's life and work. More than 400 duotone images include everything from Kahlo's sometimes harrowing self-portraits to the many gorgeous and revealing portraits taken of her by artists, friends, lovers and family, to photographs of the important people in her life—including her father, mother, Diego Rivera, Marcel Duchamp, Edward Weston, Georgia O'Keeffe, André Breton, Isamu Noguchi, Dolores del Rio, Tina Modotti, Alfred Stieglitz, Gisele Freund and Leon Trotsky, to name a fraction. @museofridakahlo @editorial_rm #fridakahlo #womenshistory #womenshistorymonth #casaazul #diegorivera #mexicanmodernism #artbook #artbookdap
