One of the most important artists of the twentieth century and an icon of courageous womanhood, Frida Kahlo lives on in the public imagination, where her popularity shows no signs of waning. She is renowned for both her paintings and her personal story, which were equally filled with pain and anguish, celebration and life. Thousands of words, including her own, have been written about Kahlo, but only one previous biography has recorded her fascinating, difficult life. Frida Kahlo by MarÍa Hesse offers a highly unique way of getting to know the artist by presenting her life in graphic novel form, with striking illustrations that reimagine many of Kahlo’s famous paintings.Originally published in Spanish in 2016, Frida Kahlo has already found an enthusiastic audience in the Spanish-speaking world, with some 20,000 copies sold in just a few months. This translation introduces English-language readers to Kahlo’s life, from her childhood and the traumatic accident that would change her life and her artwork, to her complicated love for Diego Rivera and the fierce determination that drove her to become a major artist in her own right. MarÍa Hesse tells the story in a first-person narrative, which captures both the depths of Frida’s suffering and her passion for art and life.

En su personal sima versi n, Mar a Hesse da una vuelta de tuerca a esas princesas pasivas, brujas perversas, malas madres, femmes fatales, locas pasionales y secundarias perfectas, y, de Madame Bovary a Sarah Connor, de Juana «la Loca a Yoko Ono, de Helena de Troya a Monica Lewinsky, de Medusa a Zahara o a Nevenka, reivindica la necesidad de encontrar otros referentes, nuevas lecturas de la Historia e inspiraci n para ser simplemente mujeres en el mundo en que vivimos. «Ahora sabemos que no hay que tener miedo a salirse de esas l neas caprichosas que otros marcaron, y que las que abrieron esas grietas buscando otros horizontes no estaban locas, ni eran perversas ni malos ejemplos para otras. Si acaso fueron mujeres valientes, fuertes, atrevidas, decididas. Rompedoras. Y si las llaman malas mujeres que se lo llamen; las paredes han ca do y nosotras ya no estaremos ah para o rlo . --Mar a Hesse ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A story of women who have embodied evil, full of humor and intellect, by the author of Frida Kahlo and Pleasure, with more than 200,000 readers. ONE OF THE TEN MOST AWAITED BOOKS OF 2022 ACCORDING TO ESQUIRE Since the arrival of the first myths, the narrative told by men has been universally accepted, that masculine vision that drew up people, told us how we should be -pure, docile, loving- and warned the world of bad women, whether they were vengeful gorgons, cruel stepmothers, troublesome Pandoras, or unsuspecting Eves who took the blame for our fate. In her very personal version, Mar a Hesse gives a twist to those passive princesses, perverse witches, bad mothers, femmes fatales, and passionate madwomen; and from Madame Bovary to Sarah Connor, from Juana 'la Loca' to Yoko Ono, from Helen of Troy to Monica Lewinsky, from Medusa to Zahara or Nevenka, vindicates the need to find other models, new readings of History and inspiration to simply be women in the world in which we live. "Now we know that we shouldn't be afraid to step outside of those lines that others created, and that those who opened those small cracks looking for other horizons were not crazy, nor were they perverse or bad examples for others. If anything, they were brave, strong, daring, determined women. Pioneers. And if they call them bad women, let them; the walls have fallen, and we will no longer be there to hear it." --Maria Hesse

I'll simply choose the one that allows me to convey what I want at that moment."

As his biographer David Buckley said, "He changed more lives than any other public figure."

His long artistic career is closely linked to his personal biography. This book delves into all aspects of his life, his enigmas and anecdotes. Like a hieroglyph, Bowie is a mystery we all want to unravel, and no one better than Mar a Hesse, author of the phenomenon Frida, to take on this challenge. Today, Bowie continues to fascinate more than ever.
