Homage to Frida Kahlo
13 July 2004
“I was born in rain and I will die in rain,” begins Kate Braverman’s The Incantation of Frida K., an imagined life journey of Frida Kahlo, who died fifty years ago today on 13 July 1954.
BBC News Online looks at her life and work and reports of commemorations in Mexico.
I recommend Braverman’s book, which opens and closes inside the mind of Frida, at 46, on her deathbed, taking us through a kaleidoscope of memories and hallucinations… on the threshold of life and death, dream and reality, truth and myth.
