The Artist Box: Frida Kahlo
You might know that a streetcar crash set Frida Kahlo on the path to becoming an artist, but did you know that she first wanted to study medicine? Did you also know that she had macaws, parakeets, a fawn, and monkeys as pets? Or that she and Diego Rivera had a bridge that linked their two houses? Step into Frida Kahlo’s world and learn about her fascinating work and life through engaging and fun activities. In her words: “Keep on working, continue painting, don’t ever stop singing.”
The Artist Box: Frida Kahlo contains twenty-four activity cards with beautiful illustrations by Manjit Thapp and text by Susannah Jowitt. Fashion your own Frida flowerpot; create a family tree inspired by her art; and customize your clothes and accessories in her signature style. The large, fourteen-panel concertina foldout included here features fantastic facts about Frida, a detailed timeline with quotes from her and others, and a trail of important locations in her life.
Piece together the 150-piece jigsaw puzzle of Frida’s studio in her Casa Azul home in Mexico City, and spot five of her paintings, two of her lovers, and seven of her pets. Make a style statement by ironing Frida’s patch onto your favorite tote bag, shirt, or jacket. Celebrate living boldly like Frida!
Thames & Hudson was founded in 1949 by Walter and Eva Neurath. Their passion and mission was to create a ‘museum without walls’ and to make accessible to a large reading public the world of art and the research of top scholars. To reflect its international outlook the name for the company linked the rivers flowing through London and New York, represented in its logo by two dolphins symbolizing friendship and intelligence, one facing east, one west, suggesting a transatlantic connection.
Today, still an independent, family-owned company, Thames & Hudson is one of the world’s leading publishers of illustrated books with over 2,000 titles in print. We publish high-quality books across all areas of visual creativity: the arts (fine, applied, decorative, performing), architecture, design, photography, fashion, film and music, and also archaeology, history and popular culture. Our children’s books list is also expanding. Headquartered in London, we have a sister company in New York (Thames & Hudson Inc.). Since 1970, Thames & Hudson Australia has operated from Melbourne as both an originating publisher and sales and distribution provider. We also have subsidiary sales and distribution companies in Hong Kong (Thames & Hudson Asia) and Paris (Interart).
