The powerful photos, many of which have never been published before the release of the book Frida Kahlo: The Gisèle Freund Photographs in March, honor the beauty and talent of Kahlo. Although she became very ill in the years before her death, the renowned painter was still filled with vibrant passion and energy. As Freund's poignant images show, Kahlo loved to spend time painting and wandering through her garden with her pet dogs, even when she became weaker and later confined to a wheelchair. A charismatic and unforgettable figure to the very end, Kahlo will forever be remembered for her grace and artistic gifts.

(25,816 posts)I made a nice wood frame and bought a pane of glass to protect it. The lives of Kahlo and Rivera are
very interesting. Their interaction with Trotsky and his death were interesting too.
