Kept private for 40 years, this rare collection offers unparalleled insight into her personal struggles, political views, and artistic genius, making it a treasured resource for art historians, fans, and cultural scholars alike. ## Description 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 watercolor illustrations. The text entries, written in Frida’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. Review: 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. Review: My review - This book is my everything, it's filled with Inspiring creativity by Frida Kahlo and is just up there with the top books I've ever read, it is amazing. I'd 100% recommend this book, everyone should read it, especially artists. ## Features - Abrams ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 31,738 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 35 in 20th & 21st Century Art History 49 in Individual Artist Monographs 92 in Biographies of Artists, Architects & Photographers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,784 Reviews | ## Images ![The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WqB3qjBML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great insights into the heart of an artist; exorbitant price. *by A***E on 1 March 2025* I love this book.

I'd 100% recommend this book, everyone should read it, especially artists. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ However I definitely recommend it. *by L***A on 16 May 2015* I'm impressed by the art work inside the book and the way the content is presented. The content is very much authentic given it's an exact copy of Frida's diary. The first part though is in Spanish and the second part is the English translated version. This might be a bit unpractical when you want to read the second part (in English) but then refer constantly to the first part to see the accompanying art work. However I definitely recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait - Frida Kahlo: 1907-1954: Pain and Passion - Frida Kahlo --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49068148-the-diary-of-frida-kahlo-an-intimate-self-portrait](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49068148-the-diary-of-frida-kahlo-an-intimate-self-portrait) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
