Description

I found "Frida Kahlo: Torment and Triumph in Her Life and Art" to be succinct and informative. Having just finished Hayden Herrera's biography of Kahlo I wasn't sure what to expect, as this book is one third in length. But as the saying goes, "don't judge a book by its cover". Drucker stays focused and presents a very direct and honest look into the sometimes joy filled but more often sorrow filled life of this magnificent artist. Drucker reveals the soul of Kahlo that she offered through her art. Only a woman could write about the sufferings and feelings of another women with a refreshing openness that does not oppress the senses. While this is not an all out definitive biography, Drucker gives one enough insight to appreciate the artist and the woman behind the paintings. This book is a very good introduction to Frida Kahlo for anyone interested.
