The Letters of Frida Kahlo

The Letters of Frida Kahlo: Cartas Apasionadas | Frida Kahlo

pick

I have become obsessed with Frida Kahlo over the past year and have been slowly working my way through my library‘s collection. This book is 150 pages of letters Frida wrote to various people between 1924 and 1953. She and Diego Rivera were truly one of a kind. Her pain as well as her passion comes out in each page. Chipper approves! 5⭐️

JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie yes! I actually have this one checked out from the library now and it‘s in a huge stack of Frida books next to my bed 😆 Will read this one next! She was such an interesting person. ❤️ 2y

TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 I‘ve loved her for decades -so I get it. I think this particular book was just all around fascinating it‘s nothing I‘d ever read about before. 2y

@kaye lots of books written about Frida. I think the one by Herrera is considered one of the more definitive biographies.

Kaye Thank you Carolyn 😊 6y

Carolyn11215 @kaye Always a pleasure to expose people to my favorite artists! I‘m a HUGE Georgia O‘Keefe fan as well! She and Frida are probably my 2 fave female painters. 6y

SuperPunkNinja @candyflossramparts @LeahBergen @KVanRead Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 8y

bates_barb I had to stare at this for the better part of a minute before I stopped trying to parse "Happy Kahlo-day!". It's been a very long week. 8y

SuperPunkNinja @bates_barb Girl, I feel you! 😆 8y

bates_barb Heh, I'm not sure if I should seek out mxore caffeine, or simply give up and start drinking. Considering that I'm still at work (and will be for another 2 hrs or so), the first option would be way more responsible. 🙄 8y

OrangeMooseReads LOVE IT! 8y

SuperPunkNinja @bates_barb Co-workers can be so judgmental when you day drink. 😆 8y

arlenefinnigan @McShelfington @bates_barb I hear you. And the patients don't see the funny side AT ALL. 8y

bates_barb @arlenefinnigan @McShelfington True, plus I'm pretty sure that the "half-drunk gel photographing after returning to the lab from someone's thesis or prelim defense party" skills I honed so rigorously in grad school have probably deserted me by now. ? Caffeine it is, I guess. 8y

bates_barb @arlenefinnigan @McShelfington Although, I do work for a guy who, when asked how he was so successful at promoting cross-disciplinary research, answered "We built the place with private funds, so we could put a bar in the lobby", I feel like I might have some leeway here. He was being facetious, but still... 8y

I have adored this Lady since the day I had to write a paper on her life. I was amazed by every aspect of her personnality! She's the true example of a brave woman who won't be defeated nor taken for granted. She loved and was broken, devastated and yet she left a remarquable legacy that made her simply eternal!

At dinner tonight we went around and listed five people, living or dead, we want to have dinner with. These are my picks. The ones with asterisks are alternates and the Obamas count as one person because I say so. 😀

vivastory Murakami, Danny Trejo AND Frida Kahlo? I'd pay serious money to attend THAT dinner! I have not had dinner with Sherman Alexie, but I did see him read in 2011 & he was great. Every bit as charming as you'd imagine. 8y

LindsayReads YASSSSSSS 8y

SuperPunkNinja @vivastory I'd pay big money to have dinner with any o e of these people! 8y

vivastory @McShelfington Imaginary dinner parties are a blast to contemplate 8y
