About the Item

Title: "Frida Kahlo the Breton Portrait" (Andre Breton requested Nickolas Muray to print this portrait for him) Artist: Nickolas Muray (Hungarian 1892-1965) Year of Creation: 1939 Medium: Archive Carbon Pigment print by Tod Gangler Edition number: 7/30 (plus 5 Artist Proofs) Signed and inscribed on verso by Nickolas Muray Photo Archives (as shown). Sheet Size: 18" x 22" Image Size: 12" 14" Newly framed under museum quality glass. Description (Courtesy of Nickolas Muray Photo Archives): “Soon after carbon printing was invented in France in the 1850’s, photographers began to experiment with other pigments beside carbon black. Using artist’s pigments Adolphe Braun and others made beautiful photographs with pictorial effects usually seen only in painting. Inspired by this tradition, this print is made with silver, graphite, carbon black, mica and a beautiful violet, brown pigment. These pigments combine in thick layers to show Frida as if in three dimensions. The mica, graphite and silver commingle to render the long-ago atmosphere of Nickolas Muray’s studio in shimmering light. Frida’s eyes, which once gazed back at Nick, now look out at us, with beauty, with love.” – Description by Tod Gangler. Courtesy of Nickolas Muray Photo Archives
