In dozens of self-portraits, Kahlo examined the conventional and unconventional roles with which she attempted to identify. Ankori's work offers an innovative interpretation of her art as a major contribution to the ongoing human quest for a fuller understanding of the meaning of self. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAcknowledging her failure to conform to traditional female roles, such as that of wife and mother, Kahlo investigated alternative options. Her physical, metaphysical, social, and genealogical selves--including Lilith, La Llorona, La Malinche, the Crowned Nun, and the Hindu goddess Parvati-- are all on display in her art. Transcending typical biographical inquiries, Ankori has created a broader study of the way in which Kahlo's art both reflected and refracted her multifaceted identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gannit Ankori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313315655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313315657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.42w x 1.13d","brand":"Gannit Ankori","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119573299455,"sku":"9780313315657","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4116f888-4e57-44c4-a461-846ab8d278a8.jpg?v=1687409981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imaging-her-selves-gannit-ankori-9780313315657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
