Description
Tina Modotti La Fábrica Essentials is an affordable primer on the influential career of Tina Modotti, a pioneering Italian-born photographer and revolutionary who produced over 400 black-and-white photographs during her time in Mexico. Modotti's highly influential photography career took place from 1923 to 1930, where she was deeply entrenched in Mexico City's avant-garde scene. Her work fuses the aesthetics of Mexican revolutionary culture with avant-garde photography aesthetics, and is characterized by a keen political commitment. Before developing her own practice, Modotti worked as an artist's model and actress, and was close to iconic artists such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. This book offers a concise look at Modotti's life and work, providing insight into the key periods of her career and the ideals that drove her photography.
