The fullness with which Kahlo lived her life is seen best here, and her love for rich experience is reflected back at the reader, full of personality and vitality

When Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) died in 1954, her husband Diego Rivera asked the poet Carlos Pellicer to turn her family home, the fabled Blue House, into a museum. Pellicer selected some paintings, drawings, photographs, books and ceramics, maintaining the space just as Kahlo and Rivera had arranged it to live and work in. The rest of the objects, clothing, documents, drawings and letters, as well as over 6,000 photographs collected by Kahlo over the course of her life, were put away in bathrooms that had been converted into storerooms. This incredible trove remained hidden for more than half a century, until, just a few years ago, these storerooms and wardrobes were opened up. Kahlo's photograph collection was a major revelation among these finds, a testimony to the tastes and interests of the famous couple, not only through the images themselves but also through the telling annotations inscribed upon them. Frida Kahlo: Her Photos allows us to speculate about Kahlo's and Rivera's likes and dislikes, and to document their family origins; it supplies a thrilling and hugely significant addition to our knowledge of Kahlo's life and work.

"Either in front or behind the camera, Frida Kahlo developed a strong, well-defined personality, which she managed to project by means of an ideal language - photography."

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic treasure of a book!

Intriguing images and a side of Frida that is not reported on as often as others. It’s fun to look through all of these images and imagine bits and pieces of her life and how they contributed to who she was and what she created. For a Frida fan, this book is a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frida Kahlo, the beauty of her world can live on. Thanks to this book

This book is a beautiful anthology of an artist with a painful life who used her art as therapy for her physical and mental despair. I love this book because it talks candidly about what this great artist went through until her early death at 47. If you love her work, you will love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... coffee shop in Mexico City so I was very happy to find the English version online since I purchased ...

I first came across the Spanish volume of this book in a coffee shop in Mexico City so I was very happy to find the English version online since I purchased several copies as gifts. The photos are from her personal archive which hadn't seen the light of day in about a half century. Most of the photos were new to me and I enjoyed the insight it provided into her life. The essays were very informative, too. I highly recommend this book for the serious Kahlo fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars So many photos
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2012
Verified Purchase
Seems like hundreds of pictures, almost all are interesting and historically meaningful. I felt like I got into Kahlo's basement, stumbled on a box of old photos, and made off with it. It seems more like a stack of family photos than professional shots until you get into it and find photos by Madotti, Weston, Man Ray and the like. And the photos themselves include eeverything from family snapshots, to Christmas cards, to formal pictures of statesmen. From pictures of Madotti and Weston to Trotsky, to Rivera and Kahlo (of course), to the unknown (including a murdered striker). Read a biography of Frida Kahlo and most of the characters will be found in photos in this book. It's well worth the trip if you like photography, history (of that time), Kahlo/Rivera, and art.

I got this book for my best friend who loves FK... As we both have extensive Art History in our background, I wanted something different than your typical picture book of work to give her...this was so great. Showing a deeper look at the family life and hiatry of Frida. Really happy with this choice~
