- Summary:
- During the early months of 1939, Frida Kahlo traveled to Paris, invited by André Breton, to exhibit her work. This trip, of great importance in the life and artistic career of the Mexican painter, had hardly been studied before. The avant-garde, the struggle between Trotskyism and Stalinism, the last stage of the Spanish Civil War and the imminent outbreak of the Second World War coexisted with the personal awakenings, fears and moments of enjoyment of the artist in the French capital. Jaime Moreno Villarreal reconstructs Frida's experiences, and analyzes the impact of these on her work, based on manuscripts and testimonies of the painter and those who related to her. From her disputes with Breton to the reception of Marcel Duchamp and Mary Reynolds, through the love affairs she left in New York and those she found in Paris and her reflections on the political and artistic scene, Frida returned to an America that would confirm her break with Diego Rivera, Nickolas Muray, Trotsky and the Surrealists.
