"This absorbing collection of rarely seen photographs of Frida Kahlo will accompany a travelling exhibition that opens in 1992 at the National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington, DC. These intimate images of the romantic and tragic Mexican artist amplify our understanding of her personal drama, while also providing, in the relative calm of black and white photography, a view of the artist that richly compliments Kahlo's own searing portraits."--the publisher. Lola Alvarez Bravo was a close personal friend of Frida Kahlo and photographed her many times.
