This book is a 120-image journey through the biography and work of
one of the great women photographers of the last century. With a
brief career as a photographer, Tina Modotti was capable of
creating an aesthetic of great forcefulness, becoming one of the
main reporters of one of the most convulsive periods in the history
of Mexico, the country where she lived and died at the age of 46.
Tina Modotti's photographic work is a reflection of her life,
marked by uprootedness and independence. Modotti knew how to see
the beauty of the imperfect and to reflect it in her work. She
developed her entire photographic work between 1923 and 1930, the
years during which she lived in Mexico. Her aesthetics had an
impact on the Mexican photographic scene, just as the paintings of
Diego Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros influenced her. Her photographic
work is a paradigm of the fusion between Mexican revolutionary
culture and avant-garde photographic aesthetics, to which she added
the ideals of equality proposed by socialism and her marked social
commitment.
