Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902-2002) was a foundational Mexican photographer and a key figure in 20th-century Latin American art. Largely self-taught, he was a pivotal force during the post-Mexican Revolution cultural renaissance, capturing everyday life with a poetic and surrealist eye. His work masterfully blended modernist influences with indigenous traditions, creating a body of photographs rich in symbolic mystery. Álvarez Bravo’s iconic images have established him as a master of the lens and a celebrated pioneer of modern art.
