In 1939, after her divorce from Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo travelled from the US to France - the beginning of a unique period of her life. Now, for the first time, this previously overlooked part of her story is brought to light in exquisite detail. Marc Petitjean takes the reader to Paris, where Kahlo spends her days alongside luminaries such as Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp. Using Kahlo's whirlwind romance with the author's father, Michel Petitjean, as a jumping-off point, this is a striking portrait of the artist and an inside look at the history of one of her most powerful, enigmatic paintings.
