Tina Modotti

Bol

This book is a 120-image journey through the biography and work of one of the great women photographers of the last century. With a brief career as a photographer, Tina Modotti was capable of creating an aesthetic of great forcefulness, becoming one of the main reporters of one of the most convulsive periods in the history of Mexico, the country where she lived and died at the age of 46. Tina Modotti's photographic work is a reflection of her life, marked by uprootedness and independence. Modotti knew how to see the beauty of the imperfect and to reflect it in her work. She developed her entire photographic work between 1923 and 1930, the years during which she lived in Mexico. Her aesthetics had an impact on the Mexican photographic scene, just as the paintings of Diego Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros influenced her. Her photographic work is a paradigm of the fusion between Mexican revolutionary culture and avant-garde photographic aesthetics, to which she added the ideals of equality proposed by socialism and her marked social commitment.
