By: Frida Kahlo Publisher: Dover Publications Average Rating: Binding: Cards Label: Dover Publications Number of Items: 1 Number of Pages: 6 Publication Date: December 23, 1998
Hauntingly beautiful reproductions of the great Mexican artist's Self-Portrait (1926), The Deceased Dimas (1937), Girl with Death Mask (1938), Self-Portrait with Monkeys (1943), Doña Rosita Morillo (1944), and Still Life with Parrot (1951).
Great Kahlo cards for the price! The postcards included in this little book are nice. There are six reproductions of Kahlo's paintings, including 1) Self-Portrait (1926) 2) The Deceased Dimas (1937) 3) Doña Rosita Morillo (1944) 4) Girl with Death Mask 5) Self-Portrait with Monkeys 6) Still Life with Parrot
So, be aware that only 2 of the 6 cards are self-portraits. Although we really like Deceased Dimas and Girl with Death Mask, we know a lot of other Kahlo fans who mostly prefer her self-portraits. The cards are good quality, but the only thing we didn't really like is that since they are bound, the perforated edge really stands out. If you want to use it for a note, you would need to trim that edge. These cards are best to use in paper arts, scrapbooking, or some kind of craft-- not for actually writing notes or displaying them.
We would recommend Frida Kahlo Postcard Book (Collectible Postcards) if you are looking for high-quality cards suitable for framing or display. However, this is a nice alternative at a very low price. (Can't beat the price!)
