Her work was always highly personal and this book explains why. I feel more fulfilled having read this. If Frida interests you; find the Film; Frida. Its extremely well done and provides more insights into this amazing woman.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great reference!By Tam TamInformative text regarding the events of Kahlos life and the art work that steamed from her experiences. Although the biography is brief and relativelyrics a quick read it gave much more historically relevant info than a quick Google search. Her hardships; physical pain and life stress was intense which gives more insight and perspective into her art work. I understand quite a bit more now than I did months ago about Frida ...even the relationship with Diego AND her Fridos!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Disappointed in book.By Eliz BankHyperbolic language (refers to the amputation of her leg as it being "hacked off") and also some factual inaccuracies makes me rate this book quite low. I was quite disappointed because I wanted a short-ish overview of Frida Kahlo since I was studying her for a class but I realized that I knew more than the author.
