Frida Kahlo’s Month in Paris: A Surrealist Encounter with Mary Reynolds

After receiving great acclaim for her solo exhibition in New York in 1938, Frida Kahlo embarked on her first and only journey to a war-torn Europe. Her friend, French Surrealist André Breton, had invited her to stay with his family in Paris while preparing for the French version of the exhibition. However, things did not go as planned, and Kahlo found herself in a hospital due to an infection. Eventually, she found solace in the home of Mary Reynolds, an American specialist in Surrealist publications and partner of Marcel Duchamp.

The book Frida Kahlo’s Month in Paris: A Friendship with Mary Reynolds sheds light on Kahlo’s brief stay at Reynolds’s home in Paris. Described as a “Surrealist Drama in Five Acts,” the book explores the daily life of artists and the creative environment that fueled Kahlo’s work during her time in Paris. It also delves into Reynolds’s unique artistic book bindings, showcasing her talent and creativity.

The book also showcases Reynolds’s artistic bindings of various books, highlighting her use of natural and synthetic materials like leather, silk, and vellum. Reynolds’s attention to detail and creativity can be seen in her unique bindings of literary works by authors like Alfred Jarry and Raymond Queneau.

Frida Kahlo’s Month in Paris not only explores Kahlo’s time in Paris but also introduces key figures in the European art scene who were connected to Reynolds. Through letters, photographs, and artworks, the book captures the essence of Kahlo’s experience in Paris and her relationship with Reynolds and other notable individuals.
