Kahlo, Frida: A Modern Master (Great Masters)

Customer Reviews:

Nice balance of bio, art and photos..........2007-09-11

This book is what I would call the "Reader's Digest" version of a Kahlo biography. It is a great introduction to the life and art of Frida Kahlo. Terri Hardin has written this book very simply and to the point with a nice balance of bio, art and photos. The color reproductions of Kahlo's paintings and drawings are very sharp and of high quality...probably the best I've seen in any Kahlo book.

Although this book is mostly biographical, there is some discussion of her paintings. Also included in this book is a selection of black & white photos and a few of her drawings.

Highly recommend this book to those just getting to know Frida Kahlo or those already familiar with Kahlo but want something extra.

one of my treasures.......2002-03-10

This is a book that would be excellent as an introduction to Kahlo's work, or for those who are familiar with it and want more, as there are some pieces included that are not often seen, like drawings and some glorious still lifes.
It also shows examples of the things that influenced her, like Mayan figurines, engravings from Chichen Itza, "Day of the Dead" items, etc...and has some personal photos that are marvelous as well.

Terri Hardin writes simply and directly, and has done an good job of researching Kahlo's life. The book is 9 x 12, and its 128 pages are mostly devoted to Kahlo's art, so the biography of her is detailed with a minimum of text, but includes the essentials for one to get to know this great artist. She writes of her tumultuous relationship with Diego Rivera, as well as the many other events that made her life a full but tragic one, and in describing her pictures, manages to interpret them quite well.

Though so well known for her portraits, the two pictures that thrill me the most in this book are still lifes...one from 1942 on page 110 (there's an incredible, lush and vivid detail of it on pages 96-97), and "Still Life with Parrot" from '51 on page 113. The fruit and vegetables seem to dance with energy, and there are always a few cut open, exposing the insides, and their seeds.

The quality of this book is wonderful, with thick, glossy paper (making it feel heavy for its size), and the color reproduction is vibrant. For anyone interested in Kahlo's work, this is a lovely book to own and treasure.

A Great Book to Introduce a Great Artist.......2001-11-25

A friend of mind who loves the late Frida Kahlo gave me this book to read to become familar with her work. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the artist and the way Ms. Hardin captures her in this book. The book has inspired me to do more research on Frida by capturing some of Frida's greatest work here. I recommend this book to anyone who desires to begin study on the work and life of Frida Kahlo.

Very True!.......2000-07-25

I haven't read this book yet! Yet I am here to give a review on it. I saw this book in the hands of a young lady, who was siting at an inter-city bus terminal with a relative of hers. She was laughing and smiling and laughing and smiling the whole time I was there. Even when she stopped for a while to listen to her relative she was having a smile on her face and then again she started smiling and luaghing. I wondered what was the secret behind her immense happiness. Then I looked at this book in her hands with a finger inside the book as a bookmark. I read the title of the book and it was 'Always Follow Your Dreams'. No doubt she might have always been following her dreams, that's why she was so happy and care free. I at once decided to get hold a copy of this book and here I am to buy it.

Great book for students.......2007-04-05

Dear Mr. Wynn,

About a month ago, a fellow administrator called and said that she had about 81 books that she wanted to give to the children at my school.

When our children do great things at school, we often reward them with some type of prize or certificate, and she thought that giving a book would be an excellent gift. Little did I know that the books she was bringing to me was your book, Follow Your Dreams: Lessons That I Learned in School.

My friend came to my school with a shopping bag full of your books. I immediately took one of them home for my daughter to read and the next day I sent a copy to my son who happens to be in his second year of college. Our high school girls basketball team reached a milestone in sports this year, they advanced to the state semi-finals and the school provided them with a chartered bus. Before each girl boarded that bus, I hugged each one of them, wished them the best and insisted they read your book as I handed each of them their own copy as they got onto the bus.

I can't tell you what rave reviews you've gotten from the children of Lancaster County Virginia. They can't seem to put the book down. They are not only reading the book, they are telling all of their friends to see me so that they can get a copy of their own. My own college son called and said, "Mom, this book is GOOD!"

I can't thank you enough for your insights. They are so meaningful. The book just flows, its easy reading makes it hard for anyone to put it down.

A Thankful Administrator

I enjoy using it.......2000-05-22

Never, before this book, had I had a journal to write some of my personal feelings in. But, as a gift from a friend, I recieved this diary and have written in it as much as I can. The person who gave it to me stated: "Journals are the only things that keep you sane." So, becuase of this statement, I used it (and still use it). And I guess it really does help to have thise little book with me, even if sometimes it's hard to get time to write in it. Though I have had no past journals, I believe this one must be pretty good. It has quotes about dreams all over it and has vibrant, colorful pages that are not clogged up by distracting illustrations or anything that does not come in a subtle manner. At the beginning of the journal is a little inspirational poem. It's not long, or incredibly eloquent, but I read it every time I write in the book. I think this would be a good gift for ANYONE, no matter who it is. It can be a small little thing like this that can really show someone you care. I still believe that it made a differnce in my life. Also, journals can be fun and emotionally reflective. They're wonderful to read months later. It's a gift that shows someone you care about their darkest secrets. It's also fun to treat yourself to something like this. In the back there are pockets to put sincere, sentimental writings such as poems or quotes of your own. Best of all, it is small and easily travels with you wherever you go. A great purchase. Inspiring. Suggested for those of us who are more creative than others, you can write deep things that other people may not understand, making privacy ideal. I hold it in the highest esteem over many other things that I own.

The final chapter tells of Daniels meteoric rise to fame after his comeback concert in 1992.

This was a wonderful, enchanting and inspiring book........1999-06-09

I became a fan of Daniel O'Donnell when he came to Derry in N. Ireland, to promote the Samaritans as its Patron. He struck me as such an appealing personality, with that quality of the ordinary, yet special that contributes to the making of a real star.

I bought his book! And I found the style and content so appealing for several different reasons.

Being of an Irish background myself, I thought his description of childhood in Ireland was a most appealing and very true representation. So often we are only faced with the worst senarios and it is a wonderful relief to know that someone sees his childhood as a time of joy, happiness and caring as my own was. In this way, I loved being able to identify with the lifestyle that Daniel described.

His rise to fame, and his struggle to achieve his goals was again presented as an enjoyable experience not a great struggle against adversity and oppression. He gives credit to all who helped and guided him along the way, from the people he worked with to the fans he sang to. It is so nice to read such pleasanteries.

The whole tone of the book is one of a happy life certainly with struggles but without misery - the type of life many can identify with which ends in a success story wich we all love to hear and hope for.

There are many humerous anecdotes which really lighten up the whole story, simple but true and all the funnier for being so.

I thought this a wonderful tonic of a book!

Discover Your Destiny.......2005-08-03

This book has enriched my life. I have bought several copies to gift to friends and loved ones. It contains an empowering message of what we can be and accomplish with and through God in our lives.

Must reading for those wanting to do more with their lives........2002-04-16

I have to agree with Marc from Pennsylvania below. This is one of the most important books ever written for Christians--it deserves a much wider reputation than it has thus far.

In 1997, I turned 40. My father had just lost his final battle with cancer, and I was questioning my career direction. I'd read Kathy Peel's "Do Plastic Surgeons Take Visa?" and loved how she combined humor with practical suggestions for coping with everyday life--and I especially loved her story about how she went from being a housewife to a woman with a speaking and writing ministry. That story is repeated in "Discover Your Destiny" and it alone would be worth the price of the book. But there's MUCH more. Chapter by chapter, they talk about everything from discovering your dreams and passions, to preparing yourself physically, spiritually, and practically to embark on your next step. There are three great lists that I used not only with myself, but now with my students: "Spotting a Dream from God," "Preparing for Your Dream (this one is great--very practical and powerful at the same time) and the Growth Op for discovering what you're passionate about (For example, what issues make you pound the table and say, "Someone's got to do something about this?")

It was through doing the work in this book that I realized what was missing in my own everyday work--the career counseling component. These last five years I've attended professional meetings, bought books, gone out of my way to work on things related to what I wanted to do. And. . .oh, yes. . .I prayed. OFTEN. It took time. . .but when I finally helped create a position last year that combined academic advising with career counseling, it was the RIGHT time. I was truly ready to do the work. Even a year ago, I wouldn't have been ready.

This WORKS. Though I cannot proselytize on the job, I can certainly use the principles outlined by the Peels as the foundation for how I live and how I help others do what their book did for me.

This one is another one of my desert island books. Five stars are NOT enough!

Good plans.......2002-02-23

For any Christian who is stuck in a rut, this is a good book to read. It gives some spiritual and practical advice about finding your own niche. Doing the written exercises will give you a great starting off point to make changes in your life.

Best Book I Ever Read Besides the Bible........2000-01-11

It's revolutionized the way I live from day to day. The Peels have masterfuuly written a book that catapults the dreams in your heart while showing you how to practically live them out each and every day. Besides, it's loaded with quotes from major players in history who have reached their maximum, God-given potential. I recommend this book those who are worthy of it!

Highly Recommended!.......1999-08-10

This book rises above all those other "get what you want in life" books because it is Biblically sound. It is a well-organized, easily understood and practical guide for identifying the passions in one's life and how to channel them the right way. Read it and be motivated! The only problem? Something outside the book: like the old adage says, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink," so with this book you need to read it and then take action.
