Frida Kahlo at Home - coffee table book

Frida Kahlo at Home explores the influence of

Mexican culture and tradition, La Casa Azul and other places Frida
Kahlo called home, on her life and work. La Casa Azul, now one of the
most visited museums in Mexico City, was the artist's birthplace and the
home where she grew up, lived with her husband Diego Rivera for a
number of years, and also where she died, in a room on the upper floor.
She spent long periods of time in the house convalescing, first in 1918
when she contracted polio and again, at the age of 18, after the trolley
accident which left her badly injured. Confined to her bed in casts and
orthopedic devices and in constant pain and discomfort, she began to
paint as a way to occupy her time. After marrying Rivera, Frida moved
out of the Blue House, living in Mexico and abroad, moving for a brief
time to the United States, until eventually returning to her childhood
home. Fully illustrated, the book features Frida's paintings together
with archive images and family photographs, objects and artifacts she
collected and photographs of the surrounding landscape to provide an
insight into how these places shaped this much-loved artist and how the
homes and landscapes of her life relate to her work., Frida Kahlo at
