Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Mexican, 1902-2002
Born in Mexico City in 1902, Manuel Álvarez Bravo was Latin America’s most influential photographer in the 20th century. He won numerous awards, namely from the 1970s on, and his photographs were shown in over 150 exhibitions.
From 1973 to 1974, Lee Friedlander and Burt Wolf edited four iconic portfolios at the Double Elephant Press in New York, featuring photographs by some of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century: Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Walker Evans, Garry Winogrand, and Lee Friedlander himself. Each of the four limited edition portfolios contained fifteen photographs by each artist, representing their distinct visions that can be described in the words of Walker Evans as “oddly refreshing, unselfconsciously striking, and unpredictably adventurous.”
This publication from 2015 honored the unique collaborative project that was to become a touchstone in the history of photography.
