Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray
Telfair's Jepson Center for the Arts
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.
