Manuel Alvarez Bravo
"Over 370 tritone photographs, arranged in broadly chronological order, mark Alvarez Bravo's remarkable eighty-year career. Strikingly poetic and richly resonant, the collection includes iconic images as well as over thirty previously unpublished masterpieces. Urban and rural scenes, still lifes, nudes, religious and vernacular subjects, portraits of luminaries including Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Octavio Paz: all illustrate the peerless acuity of the photographer's eye. Above all, Alvarez Bravo's work celebrates his beloved Mexico, with its indigenous rituals and age-old customs."--Jacket.

Photography
Deeply rooted in the cultures of the Mexican people, Manuel Alvarez Bravo (1902-2002) created a major photographic oevre, the significance of which went unrecognized until recent years. He focused on the subtleties of human interaction, particularly in the lower classes, to create eloquent images of death, dreams and transient life. Spanning his eighty year career, this volume is primarily a selection of unpublished and seldom seen early work.

Manuel Álvarez Bravo: In Color
The little-known color photography of Manuel Álvarez Bravo, presented in a beautiful cloth binding with a tipped-on cover image Manuel Álvarez 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 color 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 color experiments. These works in color greatly expand our understanding of his scope and abilities. A key figure in 20th-century Latin American photography, Manuel Álvarez 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.
Dreams--visions--metaphors
"The sequences of photographs in this book, carefully selected together with Manuel Alvarez Bravo, is an attempt to summarize the life's creation of the artist during the sixty years of activity in photography...Many of the images published here for the first time provide a new and different glimpse into Don Manuel's mind and world."--From page 5.
