Frida Kahlo: 'I Paint my Reality' (New Horizons)

Amazing book, after the first few pages I read it from front to cover. I was deeply immersed in reading about the fascinating life of Frida, and her political surroundings which involved figureheads such as Rivera and Trotsky.I had bought this book after enjoying the film. The book includes many extracts from her diary, with images of her work, herself, her family, friends and Rivera's work. A slight letdown to the book is that there are descriptions of works within the commentary of the book however no images to reference the text at times. However this evokes more curiousity in me to buy another book at Frida's work.

Just what I wanted, it’s a really lovely and detailed book, and it’s the perfect size to take with you and to read on the go! I would recommend to anyone, wether you know about Frida or not

A really good book and lots of colour examples throughout the book. Need to be aware though that this is a pocket sized book.

I’ve not finished it yet but enjoying it. It’s very comprehensive and there are lots of great quality colour photos included. Because it was second hand (ex library) some of the stickers on the book covered the pics. Nice size to carry around

Always been intrigued by Frida Kahlo’s paintings but didnt know anything about her life. I found this book such a fascinating read, to think she died at the age i am now is so sad. The book helped me understand her paintings at a much deeper level knowing how her life inspired her art. Definitly worth a read.

Well illustrated and well written biography of Freda. Nice glossy pages and a handy size.

The bio, the pictures. Such a wealth of culture and information for such a great price!I bought this for my arty friend who absolutely loved it! 👍

Would have liked it to be hardback, but it arrived quickly - it was a Christmas gift
