Description - Manuel Alvarez Bravo in Color by Manuel Álvarez Bravo

The little-known colour photography of Manuel Alvarez Bravo, presented in a beautiful cloth binding with a tipped-on cover image Manuel Alvarez Bravo produced around 3,000 images in color over the course of his career, though he has tended to be better known for his black-and-white photography. In Color presents more than 80 of his most significant colour photographs, many of them published for the first time. A broad spectrum of subject matter is presented in this volume, including photographs of a piece with his familiar style and themes"Mexican culture, street life and countryside, formal portraits, nudes" as well as his little-known colour experiments. These works in colour greatly expand our understanding of his scope and abilities. AUTHOR: A key figure in 20th-century Latin American photography, Manuel Alvarez Bravo (1902–2002) was born in Mexico. Self-taught as a photographer, and influenced by avant-garde photography and (later) the Mexican muralist movement, he developed a very personal style that is now seen as marking the beginning of a true Mexican photography. 66 images
