A review by operanerd
Frida Kahlo by Andrea Kettenmann

4.0

Four stars only because this book took me back to a period where I was infatuated with Kahlo and her work when I was 14 years old. Are you in joyed learning more about her life and the symbolism in her art, but I felt this book did not teach me as much as I wanted to learn. The chapters are quite short, and the writing style is a bit dry and choppy. It does quotes and passages from her letters and journal entries here and there, but most of it reads like history textbook. On top of that there was the choppy Dutch (translated from the original German) as well as typos and some linguistic mistakes that were distracting and came across as careless. So five stars for Frida, but three for the actual content.
