Published in its entirety, Frida kahlo's amazing illustrated journal documents the last ten years of her turbulent life. These passionate, often surprising, intimate records, kept under lock and key for some 40 years in Mexico, reveal many new dimensions in the complex personal life of this remarkable Mexican artist. The 170-page journal contains the artist's thoughts, poems, and dreams - many reflecting her stormy relationship with her husband, artist Diego Rivera - along with 70 mesmerizing watercolour illustrations. The text entries, written in Florida's round, full script in brightly colored inks, make the journal as captivating to look at as it is to read. Her writing reveals the artist's political sensibilities, recollections of her childhood, and her enormous courage in the face of more than 35 operations to correct injuries she had sustained in an accident at the age of 18. This intimate portal into her life is sure to fascinate fans of the artist, art historians, and women's culturalists alike.

Great insights into the heart of an artist; exorbitant price.
I love this book. I enjoy seeing how a great artist records their thoughts and feelings in words and images, and what content they display. I bought a copy of this book in July 2006, new, for GBP8.54. Now, the price without discount is GBP25. That's a threefold increase in less than 19 years. The same increases can be seen for books in general (I have many books that I purchased ten, fifteen, and twenty years ago, so I can see the trends.) Pretty soon, books will be only for the wealthy. Perhaps that's what is intended: keep the masses ignorant so they are easier to control.

Perfect facsimile at an impossibly low price -- grab it now!
Excellent and faithful facsimile. A must for journalers and artists who consider the book as a visual object. You do not need to comprehend Spanish to appreciate the text. Also, I'm used to paying TWICE the price for such a lux book . . . it's underpriced -- so grab it soon.
