Inhaltsangabe

Exhibition catalogue: Jerusalem, 1983. Curator: Nissan N. Perez. Bravo, born in Mexico in 1902, drew on the rich mythologies of Mexican Indian culture to create a photographic vision that is distinctly Mexican. Influenced by Modotti, Weston, Picasso, and Hokusai, Bravo's work became more deeply intertwined with the concerns of the Mexican people and indigenous culture upon the occasion of the Mexican revolution and his subsequent involvement with the Muralist movement. This selection of Bravo's photographs was chosen by the author in collaboration with the photographer himself as representative of the thrust of his life's work; many appear in print for the first time. The sequence of photographs in this book, carefully selected together with Manuel Alvarez Bravo, is an attempt to summarize the life's creation of the artist during sixty years of activity in photography.
