Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Edition originale. Paris,1995. 1 Volume/1. -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée sous jaquette illustrée. Format Grand in-8°. ------- 295 pages. ************************* Quatrième de couverture : "" Découvert depuis peu et publié pour la première fois, le journal intime de Frida Kahlo constitue un témoignage inestimable, superbe et poignant, sur les dix dernières années de sa turbulente existence. Cent soixante-dix pages (couvrant les années 1944-1954) déroulent les pensées, les poèmes, les rêves de Frida. On y découvre aussi la relation orageuse et passionnelle qu'elle entretenait avec son mari, Diego Rivera, le grand peintre mexicain. Plus encore que les mots, ce sont les soixante-dix aquarelles inédites qui donnent à ce trésor toute sa force émotionnelle. Autoportraits saisissants, croquis d'étude ou oeuvres à part entière, ces peintures émerveillent par l'éclat des couleurs et la vigueur du trait. Tout ce qui fait Frida, se retrouve ici. La douleur physique, l'amour de Diego et même ses choix politiques hantent et enluminent les pages du journal. Gardé sous clefs pendant plus de quarante ans, ce document unique reproduit dans son intégralité éclaire d'un jour nouveau la personnalité de cette artiste déchirante et déchirée. « La biographie de Frida Kahlo, dit Carlos Fuentes dans son introduction, consiste en trente-neuf années de souffrance. » À la suite d'un effroyable accident survenu à l'âge de dix-huit ans, Frida resta clouée au lit pendant des années, subissant d'innombrables opérations chirurgicales. C'est cette douleur, explique Carlos Fuentes, que Frida Kahlo a su traduire, de façon immédiate, comme aucun autre artiste de notre siècle torturé. « Son cri est intelligible parce qu'il prend une forme émotionnelle et visible. » Introduit par CARLOS FUENTES et commenté par l'historienne d'art SARAH LOWE, Le journal de Fridu Kdhlo est reproduit ici en fac-similé et entièrement traduit.
