Hungarian born photographer Nickolas Muray (1892-1965) achieved fame as the preeminent celebrity photographer of his day. Among his most remarkable images are a collection of portraits of the notorious
Frida Kahlo, whom he met when she was known simply as the wife of Diego Rivera, not yet as an artist in her own right. Consistently invigorated by the colors and patterns of Kahlo’s Tehuana costume, these dynamic photographs present this artist, best known for her self portraits, as she was viewed by a third party.
