Frida
Frida | Jonah Winter
4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
When her mother was worn out from caring for her five sisters, her father gave her lessons in brushwork and color. When polio kept her bedridden for nine months, drawing saved her from boredom. When a bus accident left her in unimaginable agony, her paintings expressed her pain and depression - and eventually, her joys and her loves. Over and over again, Frida Kahlo turned the challenges of her life into art. Now Jonah Winter and Ana Juan have drawn on both the art and the life to create a playful, insightful tribute to one of the twentieth century's most influential artists. Viva Frida!

This book is a biography of the renowned artist Frida Kahlo. It was published in 2004. The book shows and explain the life of Frida with the accompaniment of beautiful illustrations. The book is able to show the life of Frida into a way in which younger readers are able to understand and learn from.
Something that would be hard not to notice throughout this book has to be the illustrations. Through the illustrations, one learns where she is from.

em_lemo I loved this book, and a lot of the things it had to say. One of the sayings that really stuck out to me was,
“Fridas father is an artist and a photographer.
He teachers her how to use a paintbrush.“
This stuck out to me because of how the author was able to incorporate the guidance and help of parents, but also teaches and shows the reader how much he or she is learning from their parents/guardians.

A great introduction to Frida Kahlo, although inconsistent. Parts are glossed over, and parts are oddly focused on. But it covers many basics about the artist, and I think Kahlo would appreciate the art she inspired here.
