«En este libro, Helena Ch�vez Mac Gregor nos hace verlo que no hab�amos visto en aquello que ya hab�amos visto, nos hace pensar cosas que no hab�amos pensado, ah� donde cre�mos ya haber pensado. -Emiliano Monge
Frida Kahlo de verdad era una artista sobresaliente? Qu� hace importante su obra? Por qu� es una de las artistas m�s referidas de nuestro tiempo? C�mo podemos volver a su pintura y verla con ojos nuevos? En su l�cido ensayo, Helena Ch�vez Mac Gregor deambula entre estas preguntas con el fin de desaprender lo que sabe del gran �cono cultural que es Frida Kahlo para entrar a su obra desde nuestro presente. A partir del an�lisis de diez pinturas, la autora propone sustituir la dominante interpretaci�n autobiogr�fica de las obras con una lectura en clave de autorretrato. De tal manera, en vez de un manido historial cl�nico aparece una representaci�n siempre cambiante y transitoria de la experiencia vital de la artista. Las exploraciones literarias sobre la maternidad, la enfermedad y la sororidad de Maggie Nelson, Ocean Vuong y Cristina Rivera Garza; las visiones futuristas de China Mi�ville; la potencia antirracista de Fe/derico Navarrete y Y�snaya Elena A. Gil; la mirada sobre el mundo no humano de Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers y Vinciane Despret, y la subversi�n queer y feminista de Johanna Hedva y Sara Ahmed se entrecruzan con relatos �ntimos de la ensayista en este gran bordado verbal que renueva la manera de interpretar la obra de la artista m�s famosa de M�xico. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Was Frida Kahlo really a great artist? What makes her work important? Why is she one of the most influential artists of our time? Is it possible to take a fresh approach to her paintings? Helena Ch�vez Mac Gregor poses these questions in an effort to put aside Kahlo's status as a cultural icon and examine her works through a contemporary lens. In this insightful essay, she analyzes ten of the artist's paintings, suggesting that, rather than their traditional interpretation as autobiographical, they be viewed more as self-portraits. Doing so reveals them in a fresh perspective, as fleeting snapshots of Kahlo's evolving life experience. Maggie Nelson, Ocean Vuong and Cristina Rivera Garza's literary musings on motherhood, illness and sisterhood; the futuristic visions of China Mi�ville; the antiracist politics of Fe/derico Navarrete and Y�snaya Elena A. Gil; Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers and Vinciane Despret's explorations of the non-human world; and the queer and feminist subversion of Johanna Hedva and Sara Ahmed are interwoven with the essayist's personal anecdotes in this grand verbal tapestry that offers a new interpretation of the work of Mexico's most famous artist.Helena Chávez Mac Gregor nació en Ciudad de México en 1979.
