«En este libro, Helena Chávez Mac Gregor nos hace verlo que no habÃamos visto en aquello que ya habÃamos visto, nos hace pensar cosas que no habÃamos pensado, ahà donde creÃmos ya haber pensado. -Emiliano Monge Frida Kahlo de verdad era una artista sobresaliente? Qué hace importante su obra? Por qué es una de las artistas más referidas de nuestro tiempo? Cómo podemos volver a su pintura y verla con ojos nuevos? En su lúcido ensayo, Helena Chávez Mac Gregor deambula entre estas preguntas con el fin de desaprender lo que sabe del gran Ãcono cultural que es Frida Kahlo para entrar a su obra desde nuestro presente. A partir del análisis de diez pinturas, la autora propone sustituir la dominante interpretación autobiográfica de las obras con una lectura en clave de autorretrato. De tal manera, en vez de un manido historial clÃnico aparece una representación 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 Miéville; la potencia antirracista de Fe/derico Navarrete y Yásnaya Elena A. Gil; la mirada sobre el mundo no humano de Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers y Vinciane Despret, y la subversión queer y feminista de Johanna Hedva y Sara Ahmed se entrecruzan con relatos Ãntimos de la ensayista en este gran bordado verbal que renueva la manera de interpretar la obra de la artista más famosa de México. 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 Chávez 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 Miéville; the antiracist politics of Fe/derico Navarrete and Yásnaya 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.
