About This Item
Washington D.C.: Counterpoint, 2002. 170 pages; 22 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket, with a slightly sunned spine (bold & legible lettering), protected in a mylar book cover. "At 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." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo.
