Item Details
Description

Freund, Gisèle (1908-2000)
Frida Kahlo, Mexico (Coyacan).

1951, likely printed ca. 1980s

Gelatin silver print, with penciled title and date, along with Freund's credit stamp to verso; surface flawless with the narrow margins and verso clean and bright. 9 1/5 x 7 in.

"In 1950, photographer Gisèle Freund embarked on a two-week trip to Mexico, but she wouldn't leave until two years later. There she met the legendary couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Welcomed into their home, she immersed herself in their private lives and the cultural and artistic diversity of the country, taking hundreds of photographs. These powerful photographs, among the last taken before Kahlo's death, bear poignant witness to Frida's beauty and talent." (from Cortanze and Lorraine's Frida Kahlo: the Gisèle Freund photographs, New York: Abrams, 2014, which includes this image as an illustration.)
