“Who would say that spots live and help one live?! Ink, blood smell. I do not know what ink I would use that would want to leave its track in such forms. I respect its wishes and I will do what I can to flee from myself worlds, Inked worlds—land free and mine. Far away suns that call me because I form a part of their nucleus. Foolishness… What would I do without the absurd and the fleeting?” — Frida Kahlo, as quoted in Hayden Herrera’s Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo
“I am not sick,” she says. “I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.”
- The Diary of Frida Kahlo, with commentaries by Sarah M. Lowe—I read this immediately after finishing the biography and you absolutely have to read these together. They should be sold as a set. 😁❤️
- I don’t read many art books or know a lot about artists similar to Frida but these authors works remind me a lot of her paintings and her life:
- Laura Esquivel
- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Helen Oyeyemi
- Shirley Jackson
