Frida Kahlo: 'I Paint my Reality' (New Horizons)

I’ve not finished it yet but enjoying it. It’s very comprehensive and there are lots of great quality colour photos included. Because it was second hand (ex library) some of the stickers on the book covered the pics. Nice size to carry around

Amazing book, after the first few pages I read it from front to cover. I was deeply immersed in reading about the fascinating life of Frida, and her political surroundings which involved figureheads such as Rivera and Trotsky. I had bought this book after enjoying the film. The book includes many extracts from her diary, with images of her work, herself, her family, friends and Rivera's work. A slight letdown to the book is that there are descriptions of works within the commentary of the book however no images to reference the text at times. However this evokes more curiousity in me to buy another book at Frida's work.

Fascinating insight into an iconic artist

The bio, the pictures. Such a wealth of culture and information for such a great price! I bought this for my arty friend who absolutely loved it! 👍

This is a small pocket size book, but is beautifully presented with some lovely pictures and lots of interesting information.

Well illustrated and well written biography of Freda. Nice glossy pages and a handy size.

Always been intrigued by Frida Kahlo’s paintings but didnt know anything about her life. I found this book such a fascinating read, to think she died at the age i am now is so sad. The book helped me understand her paintings at a much deeper level knowing how her life inspired her art. Definitly worth a read.

Would have liked it to be hardback, but it arrived quickly - it was a Christmas gift

In Frida Kahlo: Painting Her Own Reality, Christina Burrus assesses Frida Kahlo’s extraordinary work—a maelstrom of cruelty, humor, candor, and insolence reflecting the essence of a free, beautiful, courageous woman. I loved this book. It has beautiful illustrations throughout and is otherwise also a very thin book, so it's very quick and easy to get through, and at the same time it's a great way to start reading about Frida If you feel like you are fascinated by her but don't have time to read a 600 page biography this is a great book for you! Very insightful, intriguing and most importantly, sporting glossy pages. It's definitely worth a buy

NO ES EL LIBRO QUE ESPERABA ME EQUIVOQUE AL PEDIRLO

I have just started reading this book, but I am really enjoying it. The pictures are gorgeous!

A good starting point for people who want to discover Frida

Small book. Great information about her life. Easy read.
