This is a very interesting document, that has only been available since 1995, and give an almost voyeuristic peep into Frida's world. Much of it doesn't make a lot of sense, but it is nonetheless fascinating. It is not a chronological journal, and there are very few dates. It is more like a surrealistic collection of thoughts, sketches, automatic drawings using ink blobs, automatic writing, love notes to Diego, political statements.
The drawings are very rough, heavily outlined in black, in contrast to the usual fine brushstrokes of her paintings. The writing is very rough too, with whole sections over written with a thick color pencil or different color ink.
It is so different visually from her paintings and her neat made up image that I would like at some stage in the show to use it in projections overhead as the words are read aloud by "La Pelona".
