(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Diaz. In 1930, Frida Kahlo and her husband, Diego Rivera, left Mexico for San Francisco. Novesky describes Frida's loneliness and restlessness; not yet an established artist, she created a painting of herself small alongside Rivera, large and important looking. Diaz's textured and color-saturated acrylic, charcoal, and varnish paintings pay atmospheric homage to the artists. An author's note is appended.
