I was looking for a book about an artist for my nonfiction reading challenge and discovered this while browsing the library catalog. It's a biography in graphic novel format. I knew of Frida Kahlo but I really didn't know much about her or her artwork. This format makes a wonderful way to learn about both. Much of the art is based on or is a rendition of her paintings. There is a bit of magical realism in this as the framing structure is Frida having a conversation with death about her life. Because her paintings are often a bit surrealistic this structure works well. I enjoyed this quite a bit. It encouraged me to seek out images of Kahlo's work online. Her life was short but colorful and passionate. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"This graphic novel brilliantly and artfully depicts the story of Frida Kahlo, one of the 20th century's most enigmatic artists. Blending facts and history with dreamlike and surreal sequences, Vanna Vinci creates an intimate portrayal of an artist who incorporated her life experiences into her art. Kahlo's burning love and crushing loss, her incredible joy and deep despair are all captured in boldly colored, minutely detailed illustrations--an evocative, fittingly passionate tribute to a legendary figure"--Back cover.

The artwork is excellent, rendering the arc of her life in pictures reminiscent of Kahlo’s own art work. This graphic novel is a good introduction to complex female artist. ( )
