Frida Kahlo

A collection of compelling quotations from iconic painter Frida Kahlo Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) has achieved a legendary status in the visual world. A master of the self-portrait, she celebrated Mexican culture and heritage in her work while also intimately and poignantly exploring identity, gender, sexuality, disability, race, and the body. Drawn from Kahlo’s diaries, letters, interviews, and other sources, Kahlo-isms is a powerful, revealing, and memorable collection of quotations from throughout her life. Fierce, individual, and introspective, Kahlo’s words offer a vivid, immediate window into the life, mind, and spirit of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. “I drank to drown my pain, but the damned pain learned how to swim.” “There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst.” “Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?” “I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” “Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.”

A 500-piece jigsaw celebrating Frida Kahlo's Self-Portrait dedicated to Dr Eloesser. Frida Kahlo lived in San Francisco from 1930–31, and here she was treated by the pioneering doctor Leo Eloesser for her chronic medical problems resulting from a serious bus accident as a young woman. They became lifelong friends and to her dear ‘doctorcito’, she dedicated this portrait. The artwork holds a striking story – Kahlo’s pain from her health issues, the importance of religious and cultural symbolism to her, and her love for her friend. Appreciate the beautiful details while you piece together this 500-piece jigsaw.

'Everything can have beauty, even the worst horror.' Frida Kahlo’s fierce dedication to her art left a legacy of paintings and writings that reveal both her creative brilliance and her remarkable endurance. Her diaries, letters and reflections show a woman who - despite profound physical pain - sought meaning through colour, symbolism and uncompromising self-expression. The inspiring quotes and images by Kahlo collected in Wings to Fly illuminate her artistic evolution and her lifelong struggle to transform suffering into beauty, connection and a deeper sense of personal empowerment. 'I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.'

Frida Kahlo is regarded as one of Mexico's greatest painters: her extraordinary personal style, her tragic story, her relationship with Diego Rivera (the more famous painter in their day) alongside her passionate paintings have made her a cult figure since she died over sixty years ago.But beyond the familiar images there is a private story about a daughter who confided in her beloved mama, Matilde Calderon Kahlo. Until now Frida's handwritten letters have only been available to scholars - and recently in Spanish in a book that appeared in 2016. Now for the first time we have over fifty of these letters in English.And what a treasure. Funny, observant and honest, they chart Kahlo's relationship with her mother; a relationship that was sometimes fraught - as with most mother and daughters - but was always alive and honest. They begin in 1923 when Kahlo was sixteen and continue until the death of her mother in 1932. These letters tell us about Kahlo's anxieties, her feelings about her husband and friends and above all reveal the marvellous, critical painter's eye in her description of people and places from Mexico, San Francisco and New York. Edited, translated and introduced by Dr. Héctor Jaimes, Professor of Spanish, North Carolina State University (who edited the Spanish version) this book is published with paintings and photographs.
