Like Frida Kahlo's painting--impossible to look away from. --Kai Maristed, Los Angeles TimesAt the age of eighteen, Frida Kahlo's life was transformed when the bus in which she was riding was hit by a trolley car. Pierced through by a steel handrail and broken in many places, she entered a long period of convalescence during which she began to paint self-portraits.A vibrant series of prose poems, Beauty Is Convulsive is a passionate meditation on Frida Kahlo, one of the twentieth century's most compelling artists. Carole Maso brings together pieces from Kahlo's biography, her letters, medical documents, and her diaries to assemble a text that is as erotic, mysterious, and colorful as one of Kahlo's paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51321764839712,"sku":"NEW1582430896","price":30.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71uHbEk9NbL.jpg?v=1773101389","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/beauty-is-convulsive-1582430896","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
