Manuel Alvarez Bravo's Books

Over 370 tritone photographs, arranged in broadly chronological order, mark Alvarez Bravo's remarkable eighty-year career. Strikingly poetic and richly resonant, the collection includes iconic images as well as over thirty previously unpublished masterpieces. Urban and rural scenes, still lifes, nudes, religious and vernacular subjects, portraits of luminaries including Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Octavio Paz: all illustrate the peerless acuity of the photographer's eye. Above all, Alvarez Bravo's work celebrates his beloved Mexico, with its indigenous rituals and age-old customs."--Jacket.

Korte schets van leven en werk van de Mexicaanse fotograaf (1902- ) met het accent op een verblijf in Nederland in 1959 - 1960.

El poeta Xavier Villaurrutia describió a Manuel Álvarez Bravo como un san Dionisio moderno, un hombre que tenía la cabeza en las manos. Álvarez Bravo tomó fotografías constantemente en el transcurso de su larga vida, y siempre abierto a la experimentación, no menospreció la rapidez y la conveniencia de las cámaras Polaroid, cuando aparecieron en la década de 1960. Prologada con un texto conmovedor de la viuda del fotógrafo, esta selección de sus Polaroids en color descubre el lado juguetón y espontáneo del gran maestro mexicano de las luces y las sombras.
