FINDING FRIDA KAHLO

Martin Venezky

This book documents an astonishing cache of diaries, letters and drawings discovered in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The bulk of the book is divided into five chapters, one for each container holding the archives. Each chapters unveils the contents in careful succession, as if unpacking the box before our eyes. Finding Frida Kahlo is set in both English and Spanish. The black English text is on a longer measure and slightly larger than the red Spanish translation.
