Frida Kahlo - Utolsó interjú és más beszélgetések
"Az egyetlen dolog, amit tudok, hogy azért festek, mert muszáj, és mindig azt festem, ami a fejemben van, nem törődve semmi mással." - Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlót egyszerre tartják korát megelőző feministának, meg nem értett zseninek és baloldali hősnek, de életében - legalábbis eleinte - inkább Diego Rivera feleségeként ismerték. Ebből az interjúgyűjteményből, amely az első és az utolsó vele készült interjút is tartalmazza, azonban nemcsak egy megdöbbentően úttörő, termékeny és saját jogán is jelentős művész képe rajzolódik ki, hanem egy imidzsét tudatosan építő közéleti figuráé is. A pályafutása során kritikusokkal, művészekkel és újságírókkal folytatott beszélgetésekből látható, hogyan lépett ki fokozatosan Rivera árnyékából, és jutott el odáig, hogy magabiztosan ki merje jelenteni, művészetére egyedül saját maga volt hatással. Ez a kötet - legjelentősebb életrajzírója, Hayden Herrera bevezetőjével kiegészítve - eddig egyedülálló módon mutatja be a "Fridamánia" mögött rejlő valódi nőt.
"Frida egyedülálló a művészettörténetben, kész felszakítani a saját mellkasát és kitépni szívét, hogy eljusson az igazságig és kifejezze az érzéseit." - Diego Rivera
"Frida Kahlo művészete olyan, mint egy masnival átkötött bomba." - André Breton
"Sem Derain, sem én, sem te nem vagy képes olyan fejet festeni, mint Frida Kahlo." - Pablo Picasso (Diego Riverának)
"Micsoda istennő volt. És az ma is." - Jerry Saltz
Frida: The Biography of Frida Kahlo
This beautifully-illustrated and engrossing biography of the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo reveals a woman of extreme magnetism and originality and an artist whose sensual vibrancy came straight from her own experiences. Born and brought up near Mexico City during the Mexican Revolution, she suffered a devastating accident aged eighteen, which left her crippled and unable to bear children. Her marriage to the muralist Diego Riviera was tempestuous, and she had many love affairs with men as diverse as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky. Absorbed in Mexican folklore and culture and a lover of dramatic spectacle, Kahlo's tumultuous life is that of an extraordinary twentieth-century woman.

Frida : The Biography of Frida Kahlo
A reissue of the beautifully illustrated and authoritative biography of Frida Kahlo, publishing in time for a major London exhibition
Frida is the story of one of the twentieth century's most extraordinary women, the painter Frida Kahlo. Born near Mexico City, she grew up during the turbulent days of the Mexican Revolution and, at eighteen, was the victim of an accident that left her crippled and unable to bear children. To salvage what she could from her unhappy situation, Kahlo had to learn to keep still - so she began to paint.
Kahlo's unique talent was to make her one of the century's most enduring artists. But her remarkable paintings were only one element of a rich and dramatic life. Frida is also the story of her tempestuous marriage to the muralist Diego Rivera, her love affairs with numerous, diverse men such as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky, her involvement with the Communist Party, her absorption in Mexican folklore and culture, and of the inspiration behind her unforgettable art.

Listening to Stone - The Art and Life of Isamu Noguchi
Throughout the 20th century, Isamu Noguchi was a vital figure in modern art. From interlocking wooden sculptures to massive steel monuments to the elegant Akari lamps, Noguchi became a master of what he called the 'sculpturing of space'. Combining the personal correspondence of and interviews with Noguchi and those closest to him - from artists, patrons, assistants and lovers - Herrera has created an authoritative biography of one of the twentieth century's most important sculptors. She locates Noguchi in his friendships with such artists as Buckminster Fuller and Arshile Gorky, and in his affairs with women including Frida Kahlo and Anna Matta Clark. With the attention to detail and scholarship that made her biography of Gorky a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Herrera has written a rich meditation on art in a globalized milieu. Listening to Stone is a moving portrait of an artist compulsively driven to reinvent himself as he searched for his own 'essence of sculpture'.
