Reviews - The Diary Of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self Portrait

“What would I do without the absurd and the ephemeral?” – The rhetorical question posed by Frida Kahlo intrigued me throughout this soulful journey revealing Kahlo’s subconscious mind through her winsome spirit, transcending words, and undisguised paintings. Recommended to Frida fans who loved her zest for life and art.

I love Frida Kahlo so much. I always feel inspired by her resilience and strength, her desire to live and fight, her passion for art and culture, and by her strong convictions.
This book offers an exclusive insight to the mind of the artist, and I cherish it as a real treasure.

I have read this book before and found it heart wrenching to read. It contains intimate thoughts and details from Frida's journal also including small sketches and artwork. I'd recommend this for any art fan and Frida lover.

So as a lover of Frida I really valued the high quality images of her intimate diary. At times I disagreed with the commentary and insight of her work. images that were marked horrifying I found beautiful. And who are we to speculate on someone’s private moments up until their death? A removal of several diary pages reminds us of this. You also see, through her subject matter, script/penmanship and frequency, her decline in her diary.

Not a 'diary' in the traditional sense, but thoughts, impressions, poetry, paintings, and drawings. Hermosa.
