Popular Celebrity of Frida Kahlo
The quality of Frida's production, her shocking themes, and her multifaceted persona will certainly continue to attract new academics to her study. The complicated and fascinating historical circumstances that she lived through, the rich Mexican culture from which she emerged, and the boldness of her worldviews, allow a multitude of possibilities and new levels of interpretation of her work which will encourage new scholars to discover and apply original paradigms of interpretation to Frida's oeuvre. Margaret A. Lindauer's Devouring Frida: The Art History and Popular Celebrity of Frida Kahlo points to an extraordinarily rich terrain of assessment that, though treated before, can be explored even further--a cultural and political level of interpretation for Frida's artistic production. Unfortunately the fit between the good intentions of the book and its outcome is not always completely achieved. Lindauer states in her introduction that the specific task she set for herself was to analyze "the language of interpretation and veneration through which the popular persona Frida Kahlo has been constructed". The proposed topic is fascinating, but Lindauer's bibliographical references are not quite adequate. |
