Manuel Alvarez Bravo: Masters of Photography Series
Manuel Alvarez Bravo began photographing in 1924 during Mexico's thriving post-revolutionary artistic renaissance. While his early work embraced Mexico's urban realities, its peasants and workers, and its hauntingly beautiful landscape, Alvarez Bravo's ever-present acknowledgment of the macabre prompted Andr Breton, the leader of Surrealism in France, to claim him as an exponent of the movement.
