These days, Frida Kahlo is inescapable. The Mexican artist's work, image and influence has become ubiquitous over the past few decades. She has unquestionably become an icon, her likeness plastered on everything from mugs and T-shirts, to more irreverent items like chocolate bars and Barbie dolls. But when we stop to envision some of the seminal portraits of Kahlo, chances are they were taken by the photographer Nickolas Muray. The Hungary-born, New York City-based photographer took dozens of photos of Kahlo after their first meeting in 1931.
