THE ARTIST BOX: FRIDA KAHLO

Brave, colorful, and Mexican, with a unibrow and a communist heart. How did Frida Kahlo, one of the most iconic painters of the 20th century, live her life and what kind of spirit did she embody, and what works did she leave behind? This activity box allows you to playfully learn about her personality and artistic world.

It includes: a <冊子「WHO WAS FRIDA KAHLO？」 (Booklet "WHO WAS FRIDA KAHLO?">, an accordion-fold booklet that traces Frida's life with a "timeline", "surprising facts" about her painter husband Diego Rivera and her works, and her "footsteps" from her birthplace in Mexico City to the house in San Ángel where she lived with her husband, and Paris in 1939 where she interacted with Picasso and Duchamp, all presented on both sides with artworks and photographs from the time; <24枚のアクティビティカード (24 Activity Cards)>, featuring illustrations of iconic scenes from Frida's life, with humorous suggestions for applying her episodes and spirit to everyday life on the back; a <ジグソーパズル (Jigsaw Puzzle)> that, once completed, reveals Frida standing with her paintings, her lover, and her beloved animals in the studio of the "Blue House (Casa Azul)," her final home; and an <刺繍ワッペン (Embroidered Patch)> in Frida's likeness. The illustrations are by popular British illustrator Manjit Thapp. It's perfect as a fan item or as a unique gift for a young friend who doesn't know Frida yet.
