Lola Alvarez Bravo

Frida Kahlo, 1944 ~  Lola Alvarez Bravo Collection
Lola Alvarez Bravo is widely recognized as Mexico’s first major female photographer. This hardcover book contains exquisite examples of her dramatic and humanistic black and white photographs, along with insightful essays about her art and her contribution to the rise of modernist photography.
Her best-known portraits, and ultimately the work for which she gained international recognition, are those of her colleague and friend Frida Kahlo. Primarily taken between 1944 and 1945, these portraits reveal a profound knowledge of Kahlo’s physical and emotional state of pain and conflict. As this exhibition shows, Bravo was a magnificent storyteller who depicted her subjects with honesty, curiosity and an abiding affection.
