Manuel Alvarez Bravo

by Susan Kismaric

Book Overview

Manuel Alvarez Bravo is one of the foremost figures of modern photography and the only photographer among the great Mexican artists of the 20th century. Bravo has produced work of exceptional quality throughout his long career: formal experiments of the 1920s were followed by modernists works inspired by such international trends as Surrealism, and the early 30s saw him develop a gifted personal style that suggested specific Mexican customs and rituals. The majority of this volume's 175 tritone plates were made from rare vintage prints assembled from private collections or furnished by the artist; many have never before been published and some have not been seen or exhibited since the 1930s. This volume was published in conjunction with a 1997 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Customer Reviews

The book has cut out pages!!! - review is not about the content

I would like to let people know that the book I received was missing multiple pages, all cut out with an exacto knife or equivalent. This I would expect, should be in the book seller description. Now that I have time to read it, it is not the book I would have purchased.
