Frida Kahlo at home
This book explores the influence of Mexican culture and tradition, La Casa Azul and other places Frida Kahlo called home, on her life and work. La Casa Azul, now one of the most visited museums in Mexico City, was the artist's birthplace and the home where she grew up, lived with her husband Diego Rivera for a number of years, and also where she died. She spent long periods of time in the house convalescing, first in 1918 when she contracted polio and again, at the age of 18, after the trolley accident which left her badly injured. Confined to her bed and in constant pain and discomfort, she began to paint as a way to occupy her time. After marrying Rivera, Frida moved out of the Blue House, living in Mexico and abroad, moving for a brief time to the United States, until eventually returning to her childhood home. Fully illustrated, the book features Frida's paintings together with archive images and family photographs, objects and artefacts she collected, and photographs of the surrounding landscape to provide an insight into how these places shaped this much-loved artist and how the homes and landscapes of her life relate to her work.

Élise Lafontaine
Elise Lafontaine's paintings explore the relationship between the body and compartmentalized living spaces she encountered during artist residencies. Her work captures the organic reality of the body and its environment, expressing emotional experiences through enchanting modulations of color. Lafontaine's use of symmetry and axial balance in her paintings reflects the human body's structure. She has recently introduced undulating volumes to her work, creating a sense of transformation and paradox. Lafontaine's art is reminiscent of painters such as Hilma af Klint and Georgia O'Keeffe, seeking an abstraction that blurs the line between figurative forms.
