Amazing!!!!! The places this really shone for me were 1 In its art analysis. The editor and main author is “an art historian specializing in the study of creative processes of Modernist artists in Mexico and Latin America” a very cool specialty that I did not know existed. He‘s done extensive research on Frida and Diego and reading his analysis of her paintings is like taking a mini art history/art appreciation course. And 2 the book itself. 👇🏼

IndoorDame One of my favorite things about Taschen is they offer smaller more affordable versions of their most popular of their coffee table art books that make them accessible to a wider audience. This book does includes a very comprehensive biography of Frida but the writing in those parts is dry, and with so many biographies of her available if that‘s what you‘re looking for look elsewhere. 5mo

#HyggeHour was spent reading 2 more chapters of this and staring at the artwork. Anytime I spend with Frida somehow always relaxes me and sparks a flurry of creative ideas all at the same time. #litsolace

TheBookHippie I agree. I love her so! ♥️♥️ 5mo
TheBookHippie Pretty sunset! 5mo
IndoorDame @TheBookHippie it‘s been like this all summer, the sunset colors don‘t linger, but most nights there are a few moments that are consistently brilliant and I‘ve really been enjoying it! 🌇 (edited) 5mo

#CoffeeTableBook #NewYearNewBook @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks In the world where I have the space and the cash for coffee table art books this one is at the top of my list. But in the real world, Taschen also puts out a bookshelf sized hardcover version of this that only costs about $25-30 depending on where you buy it, and that one may actually end up in my home before the year is out.

Leftcoastzen Looks nice . Freda was so amazing. 11mo
Eggs Great art👏🏻 11mo
