Art, Photography, Mexican; Book (Used)
Manuel Alvarez Bravo (1902-2002) is undoubtedly the tutelary figure of Mexican photography. In many ways,
much of his work reads like the exact mirror of a country and even more of a civilization. From Mexico, he
explored everything, showed everything, interpreted everything without ever yielding to the picturesque: from
the mythical sites of the Mayan civilization to the muralist frescoes through the dramas of the Zapatista
revolution (cf. The murdered worker), he passionately questioned the essence, the texture, the subtle alchemy
of a country and a nation of which he paints the definitive philosophical portrait.
