The Heart: Frida Kahlo in Paris

The Heart: Frida Kahlo in Paris | Marc Petitjean

pick

Continuing with my stack of Frida books, The Heart is about Frida‘s short time in Paris in early 1939 and her romance with Michel Petitjean. They moved in the same circles and began a brief but passionate affair. Upon her departure, Frida gifted Michel one of her now most famous paintings, The Heart. The book is written by Michel‘s son and covers a brief but important time in Frida‘s life. Highly recommend for fans of Frida. 4⭐️

Marc Petitjean separates fact from family legend in his biography about Kahlo and his father. He explores the veracity of the family stories about his father‘s affair with Kahlo in 1939. She gave the elder Petitjean, Michel, a painting she titled The Heart as a parting gift. It‘s also part pre-WWII history and art history.

TheBookHippie @dariazeoli I lucked out hugely and found this at a bargain because the cover is actually ripped!! I jut taped it up and you cannot even tell!! So it is well worth the FIVE BUCKS!! SCORE!! It is very mood lifting all that color! 2y

Written by the son of one of Frida‘s lovers, while in Paris. We learn of how as an adult, Marc Peitjean, learns that his father and Frida had an affair during her ti@e in Paris. Petitjean learns much more about Frida‘s time there and of the painting she gave his father, The Heart. Fascinating history of a much beloved painter‘s time in Paris before WWII with the surrealists.

athorne I just spent time reading an excerpt about this and now I must know more. 4y
