She is best known for her striking self-portraits  through which she depicted her psychological and physical pain after an accident at the age of eighteen left her disabled and unable to bear children. Until now  Kahlos remarkable still lifes - of which she completed about forty  compared to eighty or so self-portraits - have not been subjected to close scrutiny  despite the fact that they comprised a major part of her creative output. In this groundbreaking study  Kahlo scholar Salomon Grimberg explores in detail all of the artists documented still lifes  including some that have come to light only recently. Grimberg  a psychiatrist as well as an art historian  offers provocative new perspectives on Kahlos creative process  and shows how her still lifes both complement her famous self-portraits and serve to reveal her true self. Full of symbolic imagery drawn from pre-Hispanic Mexico and other cultures and belief systems  these stunning works are illustrative of Kahlos private musings about herself - her loneliness and her preoccupation with death - and the world around her. With beautiful reproductions of all the still lifes  as well as other relevant paintings and drawings by Kahlo and personal photographs  this compelling book is indispensable to understanding the dramatic life and work of an extraordinary woman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647969615925,"sku":"ByrdShop_1858944376","price":84.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781858944371.jpg?v=1781699972","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/frida-kahlo-the-still-lifes-9781858944371","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
