Frida's Stories: The Life and Adventures of Frida Kahlo, the Rebel and Outcast

The author of the book, Alba Romano Pace – an Italian art historian and curator of surrealism exhibitions in world-renowned museums – has dedicated her new book to the legendary Frida Kahlo.
As a recognized expert in the arts, the author narrates the biography of the artist through parallels between the most significant episodes of her life and her created paintings.
From this publication, fans of Frida Kahlo's work will learn not only about her complicated relationships with Diego Rivera and Leon Trotsky but also about other intriguing and dramatic moments in her life's twists and turns. Why was Frida referred to as the "ballerina" after the car accident? And why did she give the unflattering nickname "cockroach" to André Breton? What impressions did bohemian Paris leave on her, and what about the businesslike New York?
Readers will be able to find answers to all these questions, as well as many others, in the new biography of the incredible Frida Kahlo, who became a symbol of women's self-assertion and creative independence.
