A new graphic biography by Francisco de la Mora: "Frida Kahlo: Her Life, Her Work, Her Home"
17 March 2023
The book, completed with the endorsement and support of the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City, will be published in the month of March 2023 by SelfMadeHero.
Frida Kahlo was both a charismatic and powerful artist exploring themes of resistance, authenticity, cruelty, and suffering and a more private person whose wounded body caused her a lifetime of pain that underpinned the many successes and setbacks that marked her time in the world. Francisco de la Mora's graphic biography, which reveals and explores these two Fridas, vividly depicts the settings and environments that served as inspiration for her, the dreams and nightmares that propelled her, and the numerous people she loved.
Additionally, it is an exuberantly lovely tribute to her life, career, house, and artwork.
"Frida Kahlo’s work has been widely celebrated as representative of Mexican national and indigenous traditions, and for depicting the female experience and form. Overcoming illness, trauma, and physical injury, her iconic life, and the enduring art she made of it, communicate indomitable strength and the constant possibility of change."Circe Henestrosa, a fashion curator and educator who will co-curate "Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving" at the de Young Museum in San Francisco in 2020.
