Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-08 00:00:00 Tracy Wilms I specifically read the chapter comparing the use of folklore in the art of Frida Kahlo and Clarence John Laughton. I thought that the reading of Kahlo was refreshingly lacking in sensational analysis relating to the artist's life. It was also very much aware of the difference between Kahlo the artist, Kahlo the person, Kahlo the subject for painting, and Kahlo the myth.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-29 00:00:00 Matthew Doherty Such a seminal poet and thinker, especially for someone who closeted herself in one room for years. I wonder at her originality, at her capacity for insight. And finally I know whom I'd want to meet from the past....
