This engrossing biography of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo reveals a woman of extreme Magnetism and originality, an artist whose sensual vibrancy came straight from her own experiences: her childhood near Mexico City during the Mexican Revolution; a devestaring accident at age 18 that left her crippled and unable to bear children; her tempestuous marriage to muralist Diego Rivera and intermittent love affairs with men as diverse as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky; her association with the Communist Party and her dramatic love of spectacle.
