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 - More Information
