New Book on Frida Kahlo by Judy Chicago

Since femanisim and gender will be themes discussed in Contemporary Art,  the new book on Frida Kahlo by Judy Chicago should be interesting, to see if the viewpoints of a contemporary feminist artist will enhance our understanding of Kahlo and her work. Kahlo is not covered in your text, but she has gathered much interest in our time, particularly as a role model, etc. for women. She gained further notic among today's generation through the release of the film "Frida" in 2002. If you haven't seen the film, it is well worth seeing.
