Description
An outstanding exploration of a photographer, educator, and curator whose work both documented and created change in post-Revolutionary Mexico

This stunning and lyrical volume highlights the personal work of Lola Álvarez Bravo (1903-1993), one of Mexico's foremost photographers. Álvarez Bravo worked as a photojournalist, commercial photographer, portraitist, and educator and played a critical role in her country's cultural renaissance. In the years following the Mexican Revolution, she captured a profoundly transformative moment for the country's land, architecture, and people. She remains best known for these works and for her portraits of prominent modernists working in Mexico, including Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Lola Álvarez Bravo delves into a lesser-known body of work, in which attention to pattern, light, and abstraction guides the artist's depictions of urban and rural landscapes and their inhabitants. It also addresses her role in building and securing the legacy of the post-Revolutionary period, her dialogue with modernist photographers, and her place within the broader cultural sphere, offering new insight into the mutual influence she shared with prominent painters, filmmakers, and literary figures of her time.
