This volume is an ideal introduction to the work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. It includes her 75 best paintings, both her most popular pieces and paintings from private collections that are rarely shown in public, making the book's content fresh, varied, and captivating.

The texts accompanying this carefully curated selection of images explore Frida Kahlo's career from her childhood onward and provide valuable insights into her charismatic personality, her relationships with contemporary figures from all walks of life, and the exceptional nature of her artistic vision, influenced by the two accidents that shaped her life: the tram crash that left her disabled, and her encounter with Diego Rivera. The first caused her terrible physical pain, and the second caused profound emotional suffering.
