Frida Kahlo: Song of Herself Summary

Frida Kahlo: Song of Herself by Salomon Grimberg

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introspective interview that Kahlo gave towards the end of her life to her friend the psychologist Olga Campos for an unpublished book on the creative process.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.

Frida Kahlo: Song of Herself Reviews

Different to anything printed on Kahlo before ... movingly, we get to hear (with visual cues) how such a forthright, complex woman emerges from the tomboy everyone considered 'a little strange' - DAZED AND CONFUSED
