In SF, Frida gathers with other women artists, despite her limited English, something that would continue all the way into her time in New York City, and they would practice radical art for them. We then are thrust into the world where she is married to the artist Diego Rivera, and they first move to San Francisco. Already she is developing that knack for coded visuals and language even in her love paintings. Frida, with her friend, finds that she is now going to be potentially permanently disabled, and we see how charming she is even at a young age with her boyfriend. After the prologue, we jump back in time to the scene of the accident. Frida and Diego did not go into Detroit after their adventures in New York City and San Francisco, and, in fact, is in the final arc of their United States journey. The prologue begins in Detroit, which can be confusing to some readers because the actual Detroit chapter is much, much later. The portrait of Diego isn’t too flattering though if you’re into hating him, which I personally do not have a good opinion of him because of how he treated Frida. You are going to get some Diego content because the two are simply too linked to completely untangle from each other. Or, if we’re going to be specific, all about Frida’s frustrations. This book documents the time Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo spent traveling across America, including all of their lovers’ spats and frustrations.
