This latest blow followed a long series of betrayals, most painful of all his affair with her beloved younger sister, Cristina, in 1934. In early 1939, anxious and adrift, Kahlo traveled from the United States to France--her only trip to Europe, and the beginning of a unique period of her life when she was enjoying success on her own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, for the first time, this previously overlooked part of her story is brought to light in exquisite detail.
