Frida by Ishiuchi: Spanish Edition

Frida de Ishiuchi es la primera documentaci?n fotogr?fica jam?s publicada del atuendo personal y las pertenencias de la artista mexicana Frida Kahlo, retratadas por la artista japonesa Miyako Ishiuchi. Kahlo, v?ctima de un accidente de autob?s casi fatal cuando era joven, us? la moda para canalizar sus dificultades f?sicas resultantes en valientes declaraciones de herencia, fuerza y belleza. Tambi?n centr?ndose en las formas en que Kahlo us? su estilo ic?nico para proyectar sus creencias feministas y socialistas, las fotograf?as en color de Ishiuchi transforman los vestidos, cors?s, zapatos, guantes, joyas y otros accesorios de Kahlo en objetos cargados de lucha personal, conciencia cultural e inventiva de sastrer?a. Siguiendo la aclamada serie Mothers and Hiroshima de Ishiuchi, esta colecci?n ofrece una mirada especial a una dimensi?n muy ?ntima del universo de Frida Kahlo.

Frida by Ishiuchi is the first photographic documentation ever published of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's personal attire and belongings, as portrayed by Japanese artist Miyako Ishiuchi. The victim of a nearly fatal bus accident as a young woman, Kahlo used fashion to channel her resulting physical difficulties into courageous statements of heritage, strength and beauty. Also focusing on the ways in which Kahlo used her iconic style to project her feminist and socialist beliefs, Ishiuchi's color photographs transform Kahlo's dresses, corsets, shoes, gloves, jewelry and other accessories into objects freighted with personal struggle, cultural awareness and sartorial inventiveness. Following Ishiuchi's acclaimed series Mothers and Hiroshima, this collection provides a special look at a very intimate dimension of Frida Kahlo's universe.
