  3. Manuel Alvarez Bravo is considered the main representative of Latin American photography in the 20th century. He dropped out of school at the age of twelve in order to make a contribution to his family’s finances after his fathers death. Introduced to photography early in life, Manuel Alvarez soon became a self-taught photographer and an emblematic figure in the Latin community following the Mexican Revolution. Optical Parable, 1931

  4. Sea Dog, 1950

  5. “A photographer's main instrument is his eyes. Strange as it may seem, many photographers choose to use the eyes of another photographer, past or present, instead of their own. Those photographers are blind.” – Manuel Alvarez Bravo Absent Portrait, 1945-46

  6. Cactus Landscape, 1968

  7. Posthumous Portrait, 1934-39 “One could think of a person who seems to have two opposing and contradictory sides to his personality; but it turns out that in the end the two sides are complementary. The same happens with an artist's work: deep down, what appear as contradictory sides are merely different registers, different aspects of the reality that the artist inhabits...” - Manuel Alvarez Bravo
