Revealing and exploring these two Fridas, Francisco de la Mora's graphic biography - completed with the endorsement and support of the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City - vividly documents the landscapes and environments that inspired her, the dreams and nightmares that drove her, and the many people she loved. It is also a joyously beautiful tribute to her life, her work, her home - and her art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Frida Kahlo's work has been widely celebrated as representative of Mexican national and indigenous traditions, and for depicting the female experience and form.
