Frida Kahloby Gerry Souter
Parkstone International 2011; US$ 7.00Dietro i ritratti di Frida Kahlo si può leggere tutta la sua storia: raramente un artista ha lasciato una così chiara e ricca testimonianza della propria vita, privata e lavorativa, tra la cornice dei suoi dipinti.

La storia e i dipinti che Frida ci ha lasciato mostrano una donna alla costante ricerca e scoperta di sé. more...
