Blurb:
The photography of Manuel Alvarez Bravo is Mexican by cause, form, and content, anguish is omnipresent and the atmosphere is supersaturated with irony. — Diego Rivera.

Alvarez Bravo’s photographs are enigmas in black-and-white, silent yet eloquent: without saying it, they allude to other realities, and without showing them, they evoke other images. — Octavio Paz.

Bio:
Manuel Álvarez Bravo [born February 4, 1902, Mexico City, Mexico — died October 19, 2002, Mexico City] was a photographer who was most noted for his poetic images of Mexican people and places. He was part of the artistic renaissance that occurred after the Mexican Revolution [1910–20]. Although he was influenced by international developments, notably Surrealism, his art remained profoundly Mexican. — Encyclopedia Britannica
