Read & Create: Frida Kahlo

We will read Frida by Jonah Winter and create a Wing Wall that will be displayed in the Children's Department for photos!

"Frida Kahlo, el nombre que impone un sello. La mujer que se convirtió en símbolo. La artista que trascendió los límites estrechos e imperfectos de su propia vida , para volverse gigante perdurando en el legado profundo y muchas veces impresionante de su obra pictórica. Todas las facetas más destacadas de su convulsionada vida están aquí; incluyendo los pasajes imperdibles de la tormentosa relación con otro de los grandes, Diego Rivera, el genio de los muralistas mexicanos. Mujer enigmática, sorprendente, implacable y genial. Convirtió su vida y la de todos los que la rodearon en una fiesta surrealista triste y contradictoriamente feliz. Aquí se habla de los antecedentes, el inicio y la posteridad. Se perfila la época que vivió la artista y se pormenorizan otros múltiples detalles que son trabajosamente juntados para terminar armando el puzzle de un relato biográfico impecable.

This long-awaited companion to Jonah Winter's acclaimed DIEGO features the paintings of young Spanish artist, Ana Juan. This stunning picture book is the perfect gift for art enthusiasts of all ages.

When her mother was worn out from caring for her five sisters, her father gave her lessons in brushwork and color. When polio kept her bedridden for nine months, drawing saved her from boredom. When a bus accident left her in unimaginable agony, her paintings expressed her pain and depression - and eventually, her joys and her loves. Over and over again, Frida Kahlo turned the challenges of her life into art. Now Jonah Winter and Ana Juan have drawn on both the art and the life to create a playful, insightful tribute to one of the twentieth century's most influential artists. Viva Frida!"
