Salomon Grimberg Bücher

Fridas Leben mit ihren eigenen Worten Picasso schenkte ihr Ohrringe, Kandinsky traf sie in Paris und der Surrealist André Breton bezeichnete ihre Werke als ein „farbiges Band um eine Bombe“. Frida Kahlo kämpfte mit ihrer ruinierten Gesundheit und den Affären ihres Mannes – „Tragödien sind albern“ meinte sie dazu und malte sich die Qualen von der Seele. Wenn eine Künstlerin die Bezeichnung „Kultfigur“ verdient, dann ist es Frida Kahlo, die bekannteste und populärste Malerin aller Zeiten.

Book by Kahlo, Frida, Grimberg, Salomon

Illustrated by more than 90 of her paintings as well as many rare black-and-white and color photographs. Salomon Crimberg's "Frida Kahlo includes an insightful biography of this fascinating and complex artist.

Frida Kahlo's extraordinary life has been well documented, but until now little has been known about the artist's thoughts on her internal and external reality. In "Song of Herself", Kahlo expert and child psychiatrist Salomon Grimberg introduces and contextualizes an intimate, deeply introspective interview that Kahlo gave towards the end of her life to her friend the psychologist Olga Campos for an unpublished book on the creative process. Kahlo comments directly and starkly as never before on her life, her loves and her art, and expresses her attitudes towards sexuality, her body, friendship, politics and death, among other personal concerns.The most revealing autobiographical text known on this singular woman, this startling interview is accompanied here by Campos' reflections on her relationship with Kahlo and a psychological assessment of Kahlo by Dr James Bridger Harris. The book is illustrated with selected photographs and works by Kahlo, including previously unseen and rarely seen drawings.
