Frida Kahlo fans have a beautiful surprise, courtesy a journal which has tastefully and artfully brought together her thoughts, words and art.
Inspired by Frida Journal (Rockpool Publishing) is an ode to the inspirational artist where Akal Pritam envelopes the user in every sense with a dramatic, colourful splash of Frida-logy. The 205-page decorative journal is indexed into eight sections that encourage exploration of the idea of FRIDA: Freedom, Reverence, Inspiration, Dharma and Acceptance.
The journal is divided into sections
The courageous Mexican, who defied the odds and fought adversities like her serious accident, throughout her life, ensured these many struggles translated into art that was unapologetically refreshing in every sense. The powerful colours, strong brushstrokes and evocative text across each section are bound to draw in collectors, stationery junkies and of course, Frida’s fans to get a copy just for keeps. At least, that’s what we might end up doing.
FRIDA: Freedom, Reverence, Inspiration, Dharma, and Acceptance
The creator of this gorgeous, artful tribute, Pritam does full justice to the rich, glorious legacy and Kahlo’s ability to stand out in a crowd, and remain one of the most path breaking women pioneers in the art movement and beyond.
