5.0 / 5.0

Iḿ fascinated by Frida Kahlo, and have read many articles and books about her and her art. I wrote several essays in college for my Art History classes. So finding this graphic novel in the library, an illustrated life of Frida,I had to add it to my stack.

The graphics are absolutely on point-well done, but not over done. Graphics that are simple and exemplary of her life. Each graphic could stand alone, but collectively they form a perfect pictorial of her life. This is beautifully done and presented. A graphic novel to treasure.
