Continue to explore the geography of genius in Desperately Seeking Frida, a pocket-sized hardcover guide that catalogs and explores the most important locations in Frida Kahlo's life.

Quotes from contemporaries and Frida herself accompany historical and biographical details that give context to the maps and images. Fans will be thrilled by this in depth, lifetime-spanning tour of her global trajectory, from La Casa Azul in Coyoacan, Mexico, to New York City, San Francisco and Paris. Like the other titles in the series, Desperately Seeking Frida looks at a major cultural icon from a brand-new angle, providing context for her life, work, and legacy.

Frida is an amazing artist, and this is a brillant little overview of her life and work that I found earlier this week. When I look at her paintings, I cannot help but feel her pain, her suffering. "They thought I was a surrealist but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality." Frida Kahlo
