MANUEL ÁLVAREZ BRAVO (1902-2002) "Frida Kahlo With Globe" Gelatin Silver Print. Signed, annotated M. Alvarez Bravo México on reverse. A self-taught photographer, Manuel Álvarez Bravo began taking pictures as a teenager before studying painting at the Academia San Carlos and learning darkroom techniques from Hugo Brehme. Encouraged by Tina Modotti, he became connected with Mexico’s avant-garde, including Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, and exhibited alongside Edward Weston, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Walker Evans. Though often associated with Surrealism, Álvarez Bravo focused on capturing Mexico’s cultural heritage, peasant life, and indigenous roots during a time of rapid modernization, becoming one of the most important Latin American photographers of the 20th century.
