Shadows, Fire, Snow
Shadows, Fire, Snow reveals the flesh-and-blood woman behind the legend. Drawing upon a wide array of sources, including some 300 recently discovered letters and photographs, Patricia Albers shows that Modotti was a prototype of the modern woman, and is as fascinating a figure as Frida Kahlo or Georgia O'Keeffe.

Tina Modotti
Biografie van de Italiaanse fotografe en communistische activiste (1896-1942).
Tina Modotti
Italian American photographer Tina Modotti (1896--1942) has become the subject of renewed popular and critical attention with a spate of recent biographies, academic articles, and films. Because Modotti was an intensely engaged political figure whose activism took her to Mexico, the former Soviet Union, and Spain, her biographers have focused primarily on her politics and love life, especially her relationships with Edward Weston, Xavier Guerrero, and Julio Antonio Mella. Now Andrea Noble focuses on Modotti's photographic output. Her corpus of over 300 images, especially those of post-revolutionary Mexico in the 1920s, is a significant contribution to twentieth-century photography. Drawing on feminist theories of visual culture, Noble presents a close reading of Modotti's work and how it fits into its cultural, historical, and theoretical contexts. She also explores how Modotti was 'repackaged' by feminists in the 1980s and how she was commodified as an 'exotic Mexican body' to promote a collection of women's fashion. This book offers a new perspective on the work and life of an enduringly fascinating figure.

Tina Modotti & Edward Weston
Tina Modotti and Edward Weston arrived in Mexico in 1923 at the start of an extraordinary period of artistic creativity that became known as the Mexican Renaissance. The book traces the interwoven lives and work of Modotti and Weston from the early 1920's in Los Angeles, where they met, until the 1930's, focusing in detail on their time together in Mexico, where virtually all of Modotti's photographs were taken. In bringing together for the first time close to 150 photographs by Modotti and Weston, it reveals the distinctive responses to Mexico of two photographers from widely different backgrounds. At the same time, like other Modernists in Mexico, these two artists self-consciously created work that broke wholly with the immediate past, and fashioned an idiom in defiance of traditional ideas. A selection of images by two Mexican photographers, Manuel Alvarez Bravo and Mariana Yampolsky, reveals how indigenous photography was influenced by these two foreigners.
Tina Modotti
The original copyright is 1983, so this must be a reprint. Modotti--remembered mainly as Edward Weston's model, student, lover, and muse--is now recognized as an extraordinary photographer in her own right. With over 100 striking photos of and by Modotti, this biography conveys a life committed to political, personal, and artistic freedom. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
