Frida Kahlo

The author Ingrid Decker, who after 30 years abroad, five of which were spent in Mexico, now lives near Baden-Baden, has never personally met Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954). Yet, the famous Mexican artist has always accompanied and influenced the author's life. For many years, Ingrid Decker has followed the artistic and familial traces of Magdalene Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón in Mexico, and has also discovered Frida's German roots in Baden-Baden. The result is a text that, against the backdrop of many historical dates, facts, and family connections, shows in a particularly personal way how much not only Frida Kahlo's artistry but also her personality moves people of our time. Ingrid Decker takes Frida Kahlo, who suffered and fought throughout her life, on an imaginary walk through Baden-Baden.
