The riveting story of how three years spent in the United States transformed Frida Kahlo into the artist we know today

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo adored adventure. In November 1930, she was thrilled to realize her dream of traveling to the United States to live in San Francisco, Detroit, and New York. Still, leaving her family and her country for the first time was monumental.

Only twenty-three and newly married to the already world-famous forty- three-year-old Diego Rivera, she was at a crossroads in her life and this new place, one filled with magnificent beauty, horrific poverty, racial tension, anti-Semitism, ethnic diversity, bland Midwestern food, and a thriving music scene, pushed Frida in unexpected directions. Shifts in her style of painting began to appear, cracks in her marriage widened, and tragedy struck, twice while she was living in Detroit.

Frida in America is the first in-depth biography of these formative years spent in Gringolandia, a place Frida couldn’t always understand. However, it’s precisely her feelings of being a stranger in a strange land that fueled her creative passions and an even stronger sense of Mexican identity. With vivid detail, Frida in America recreates the pivotal journey that made Señora Rivera the world famous Frida Kahlo.

Acerca del artista, Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo (nacida el 6 de julio de 1907 en Coyoacán, México—fallecida el 13 de julio de 1954 en Coyoacán) fue una Pintora mexicana mejor conocida por sus autorretratos intransigentes y de colores brillantes que tratan temas como la identidad, el cuerpo humano y la muerte. Aunque negó la conexión, a menudo se la identifica como surrealista. Además de su trabajo, Kahlo era conocida por su tumultuosa relación con el muralista Diego Rivera (casada en 1929, divorciada en 1939, vuelta a casar en 1940).
