Embracing every aspect of Modotti's brief but stellar career and
filled with archival images and insightful essays, this is certain
to be the definitive reference work on a photographer whose art was
suffused with humanity, emotion, compassion and technical
brilliance. Tina Modotti's work spans less than a decade, but in
that time she created uniquely powerful and lyrical images that
combine masterful technique with a deep concern for the rights of
the poor and marginalized. Organized thematically, this sweeping
overview of her life and oeuvre offers gorgeous reproductions of
her portraits, still lifes, architectural images, and documentary
photographs. The wide- ranging and substantial biographical
material offers important and illuminating background about her
experience in the theater and silent film industry, her
relationship with Edward Weston and friendships with Diego Rivera
and Frida Kahlo, her political radicalization and her activism
around worker's rights and Mexico's indigenous peoples. Uniquely
adept at spanning the genres of abstraction and landscape,
portraiture and photojournalism, Modotti was as talented as she was
passionate. This tribute to her life and work firmly establishes
her as one of the most important photographers of her time.
