"Il carteggio tra Frida Kahlo e il dottor Leo Eloesser dura anni - dal 1931 al 1951 - e racchiude indizi di quotidianità, del rigore di un'amicizia profonda, di un dottore che conosce oltre ai dolori del corpo, quelli dell'animo della propria paziente. Si presentano qui le lettere di Frida, scritte a mano o a macchina, che permettono di ricostruire la sua storia clinica e i sintomi nell' i dolori alla schiena e alla gamba destra, la stanchezza cronica, di brutale dimagrimento... ma anche la ferita aperta per l'amore tradito, l'impulso politico. Musa dell'artista è sempre il dolore." (M. Cristina Secci)

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Calderón was a Mexican painter, who has achieved great international popularity. She painted using vibrant colors in a style that was influenced by indigenous cultures of México as well as by European influences that include Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Many of her works are self-portraits that symbolically express her own pain and sexuality. In 1929 Kahlo married the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. They shared political views, and he encouraged her artistic endeavors. Although she has long been recognized as an important painter, public awareness of her work has become more widespread since the 1970. Her "Blue" house in Coyoacán, México City is a museum, donated by Diego Rivera upon his death in 1957.
