Manuel Alvarez Bravo: Photopoetry Details
Manuel Alvarez Bravo was one of the foremost practitioners of visual arts in the twentieth century. Manuel Alvarez Bravo, the first major retrospective of his eighty-year career, showcases hundreds of iconic photographs and unveils more than twenty previously unpublished images. Featuring landscapes, still lifes, rural and urban scenes, religious and vernacular subjects, as well as portraits of luminaries such as Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Carlos Fuentes, and Octavio Paz, the work is chronologically arranged and richly varied. Three illuminating essays reveal the poetry of Bravo's photographsfrom his use of light and form to his fascination with dreams and his preoccupation with death. This definitive monograph is a powerful tribute to Mexico's most distinguished photographer.

Reviews
Fantastic book. I purchased this book because I bought the much smaller Getty book on this photographer, and wanted to see more of his work. This book is much larger, in both its dimensions and number of photographs, and puts the Getty book to shame. Top notch printing: tritone (3 levels of black ink) and heavy paper. One of the best printed photo books I have seen. Highly recommended.
