FRIDA IN AMERICA The Creative Awakening of a Great Artist

Narrator Frankie Corzo brings an academic gravitas to this exploration of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's time in America. Corzo's voice is steady as well as measured while guiding listeners through the details of Kahlo's marriage and later artistic development. Fans of Kahlo's art will immerse themselves in this nuanced account of her challenges and inspirations. Her story is in capable hands because Corzo recounts with feeling the sexism that first hid Kahlo's talent behind that of her husband, Diego Rivera. Listeners experience the disorientation and dismissal that Kahlo encountered in a personal way due to Corzo's evocative delivery. Listeners who want to learn more about Kahlo will sink into these two volumes, which explore a remarkable life as told by a strong voice. M.R. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2020]
