內容簡介
內容簡介 ☙ 首度完整開放私人居所,具獨一無二的歷史與藝術價值 本書首次揭露芙烈達・卡蘿長年居住的「卡薩卡蘿」,這不只是住宅,而是她創作、生活與情感交織的核心場域,對理解其藝術世界具有不可替代的意義。☙ 私人物件與未公開檔案,提供極高研究與收藏價值 收錄大量未曾出版的書信、明信片、早期素描、服飾珠寶與珍藏物件,讓讀者得以從「生活細節」深入藝術家的創作語境與精神世界。 ☙ 由家族策劃書寫,呈現最貼近核心記憶的第一手視角 由卡蘿姪孫女親自策劃與撰寫,結合居住者的記憶與情感,使本書不只是藝術史整理,更是一種帶有親密感與情感厚度的敘事視角。The first publication of Casa Kahlo, Frida Kahlo’s private Mexico City family home and personal sanctuary, and its collections of her art, clothing, jewelry, and treasured keepsakes, the house has been opened to visitors for the first time in nearly 100 years.Curated and written by her great-nieces, who lived in the house throughout their lives, this book offers an unparalleled glimpse into Frida Kahlo, opening a new perspective into this iconic artist’s family home and refuge. Casa Kahlo was more than a second home—it was a place where Frida could truly be herself away from the house she shared with her husband, the artist Diego Rivera. At Casa Kahlo—surrounded by her artistic family and the vibrant Indigenous culture she immersed herself in—she spent time with her closest confidantes (her sisters), her friends, and her lovers. The house also served as an additional studio space for Kahlo where she taught art classes to a legion of loyal students who referred to themselves as Los Fridos.Remarkably, Casa Kahlo has been occupied by Frida’s family since they bought the house in 1930. Meticulously documenting the interiors, this book features a rich array of personal items and never-before-published letters and postcards to her sisters, her mother, and her most beloved niece Isolda. Hundreds of personal items offer an intimate view into her artistic environment and personal life: from her early drawings and paintings (including the first painting she showed Rivera at eighteen years old) to later drawings; her distinctive jewelry and clothing; key documents, including her birth and marriage certificates; artworks; and keepsakes ranging from dolls to her taxidermy butterfly collection. Written by her closest family members, the book presents a very fresh and deeply personal perspective on the artist’s life, enriched by their unique connection to her legacy.
