Frida Kahlo. The Complete Paintings
200Pain and Passion
The complete paintings of Frida Kahlo in an XXL edition
Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkácsi, they made Frida Kahlo an icon of 20th century art.
After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet André Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp.
We access the intimacy of Frida’s affections and passions through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, letters, and an extensive illustrated biography featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida’s home and the center of her universe.
This large-format XXL book allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo’s paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots and famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections and reproduces works that were previously lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years, forming the most extensive study of Kahlo’s work and life to date.

"Frida Kahlos gesammelte Werke" ist zweifellos ein monumentales Buch, das die umfassende Schönheit und Tiefe des Werks dieser außergewöhnlichen Künstlerin auf beeindruckende Weise einfängt. Als langjähriger Bewunderer von Frida Kahlos Kunst war ich von diesem Buch schlichtweg begeistert.
Die Zusammenstellung ihrer Werke, begleitet von informativen Kommentaren und Hintergrundinformationen, erlaubt einen tiefen Einblick in das Leben und Schaffen dieser Ikone der Kunstgeschichte. Die Reproduktionen der Gemälde sind von herausragender Qualität und vermitteln die leidenschaftliche Intensität, die in jedem einzelnen Werk von Frida Kahlo steckt.
Die begleitenden Texte, Essays und Analysen bieten eine umfassende Perspektive auf ihre künstlerische Entwicklung, ihre Einflüsse und die gesellschaftlichen Themen, die in ihrer Kunst so meisterhaft reflektiert werden. Es ist ein Buch, das nicht nur Kunstliebhaber, sondern auch Historiker und all diejenigen, die sich für das Leben und Schaffen von Frida Kahlo interessieren, schätzen werden.
Die Ausgabe selbst ist von hoher Qualität, mit einem robusten Einband und gestochen scharfen Drucken. Dieses Buch ist zweifellos ein Schatz für jede Kunstbibliothek und ein Tribut an das Erbe einer der bedeutendsten Künstlerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Eine wohlverdiente Fünf-Sterne-Bewertung!Grosses Werk

I ordered this book after watching the Frida Kahlo documentary on BBC iPlayer and what a wonderful testament to her it is! It was a big investment for me but absolutely worth it. It is BIG so be warned about that!
The package arrived ok however when opening the outer sleeve to the book was damaged - it had clearly been done before despatch and I was disappointed with that!
I contacted the seller and they acknowledged that the fault was they’re end and apologised and offered a small (15%) refund of money.
Customer service was good and comms ok.
I would recommend this seller ⭐️Was für ein wunderbares Buch

Seit ich 18 Jahre alt war, liebe ich Frida Kahlos Gemälde! Nach dem Besuch von "Viva la vida" in Hamburg entdeckte ich das Buch im Shop. Der Preis und auch das Gewicht ließen mich zurückschrecken. Half nichts, ich musste es haben und dieses hochwertige Buch ist jeden Penny wert! Die Abbildungen sind klar und die Farbwiedergabe perfekt! Dazu die Informationen über ihr Leben (Briefe, Tagebuchabschnitte, Kommentare, Fotografien) machen dieses Buch perfekt!Ottimo
