Sinopsis del Libro

Lola Alvarez Bravo was Mexico's first woman photographer, and her career is exceptional both for its remarkable range and for the compelling quality of her work. Approaching photography from multiple angles, she worked as a photojournalist, commercial photographer, and professional portraitist, while also creating intensely personal images of people, places, and things throughout her native Mexico. In addition, she played a vital role in the Mexican cultural scene, as an inspiring teacher of photography, as friend of innumerable artists and writers (many of whom she photographed), and as owner of a prestigious gallery that presented the first solo show by her friend Frida Kahlo, the subject of some of Alvarez Bravo's most powerful portraits. This is the first English-language book on Lola Alvarez Bravo to encompass the full range of her work, including some images never before published and several of her little-known photomontages. Elizabeth Ferrer's insightful text - based on far-ranging research, including interviews with the artist and her friends - captures the unique spirit of both the photographer and her extraordinary photographs.

Mi abuelo Jesús León

"En la mañana de hoy, primer Domingo del mes de Septiembre, recibí un mensaje vía wsp de Rómulo Gutiérrez; el cual un instante antes de leerlo, fue interrumpido por una llamada telefónica que el mismo Rómulo me hacía. Desestimé leer tal mensaje para atender el agudo rinrineo que exclamaba mi teléfono móvil, era él, mi inquieto y emocionado amigo que con un rosario de buenas ideas me motivaba a que escribiera un libro referente a mi abuelo paterno Jesús León. No pude contener mi risa, fue inevitable detener ese impulso hilarante que me provocó la insospechada propuesta que me...
