  Frida Kahlo - An Illustrated Life

  “A vibrantly illustrated biography of Kahlo . . . [Hesse’s] drawings and graphics [flow] seamlessly with the narration.” —Houston Chronicle 
   
  One of the most important artists of the twentieth century and an icon of courageous womanhood, Frida Kahlo lives on in the public imagination, where her popularity shows no signs of waning. She is renowned for both her paintings and her personal story, which were equally filled with pain and anguish, celebration and life. Thousands of words, including her own, have been written about Kahlo, but only one previous biography has recorded her fascinating, difficult life. Frida Kahlo by María Hesse offers a highly unique way of getting to know the artist by presenting her life in graphic novel form, with striking illustrations that reimagine many of Kahlo’s famous paintings. 
   
  Originally published in Spanish in 2016, Frida Kahlo has already found an enthusiastic audience in the Spanish-speaking world, with some 20,000 copies sold in just a few months. This translation introduces English-language readers to Kahlo’s life, from her childhood and the traumatic accident that would change her life and her artwork, to her complicated love for Diego Rivera and the fierce determination that drove her to become a major artist in her own right. María Hesse tells the story in a first-person narrative, which captures both the depths of Frida’s suffering and her passion for art and life. 
   
  “Despite the often light mood of the artwork, the book never shies from weighty consideration of the physical pain and personal loss that gave way—in fleeting but significant moments—to Kahlo’s artistic triumph.” —Publishers Weekly

  Born and raised in the small prairie town of Lanigan, Saskatchewan, Jane Smith had to be the most awkward girl around. She had reached an age when her parents were allowing her to experiment with make-up, and all the boys around her were becoming more attractive as each day passed. Especially Todd. He was her biggest secret crush. Unfortunately, Jane was too shy to do anything about it. 
  It did not help matters that all her friends now had boyfriends, but Jane still did not. It seemed to her that she was forever cursed to be single in this small prairie town where she was nothing more than an ugly duckling next to all the pretty and sociable girls. 
  When Jane was not following her friends around from the movie theatre to the hockey rink, learning the latest juicy gossip from them, and silently adoring her biggest crush, she was alone in her bedroom writing: letters to her Chinese penpal, diary entries, and the beginnings of a romance novel. She often dreamed about her first love and first kiss. Alas, this was a dream she feared would never come true, so she also wished for a new start and a whole new life for herself. 
  Little did Jane know that her creative hobbies were the very thing that would make these dreams come true. Little did she know she was capable of magic!
