A striking and gorgeous biography of the fascinating lives of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera—and their tempestuous and complicated work and marriage. Ample photographs and lushly reproduced artwork offer a feast for the eyes. Timeline, Notes, Bibliography, Index.

Excellent portrait of the complex and passionate, intertwined creative and personal lives of two groundbreaking artists whose lifestyles were as avant-garde as their aesthetic sensibilities. An engaging, revealing, and handsomely designed biography. ( )

RGG: Fascinating. Many details about influences: artistic, historical, politics. Their relationship and infidelities are described clearly but not salaciously. A bit hard to follow: moving back and forth in time and two parallel histories. Also it would have been preferable if descriptions of specific pieces always accompanied photos of the pieces. Reading Interest: YA.
