NO TITLE - Lola Alvarez Bravo
Lola Alvarez Bravo was the wife of Manuel Alvarez Bravo, one of the most famous and influential photographers Mexico ever produced. She began photographing in the 1930s and influences of photographers such as Edward Weston and Tina Modotti are clearly visible in her early work. Lola Alvarez Bravo quickly became the favourite photographer of the Mexican cultural elite, most in demand for portraits. Her oeuvre reveals surrealistic and fantastic features, and she photographed many everyday subjects and street scenes. In the mid-1990s Alvarez Bravo was honoured in Mexico with a large retrospective exhibition.
