	Profotos - Manuel Alvarez Bravo
		Alvarez Bravo's first professional work in photography was as a freelancer for Mexican Folkways, a magazine dedicated to the cultural history of Mexico focusing on such topics as traditional music and burial customs.
		Alvarez Bravo's images show a vast and varied terrain comprised of cacti, meadows of corn, and flat open horizons sometimes articulated by stones and crumbling walls.
		Although Alvarez Bravo's tool, the camera, performs a split-second action, his work is often described as "timeless" or "eternal." He clearly pursues these themes in works such as Portrait of the Eternal (1935), which features a woman with long, dark hair holding a small mirror to her face.

		Manuel Alvarez Bravo is generally recognized to be one of the masters of modern photography and the most significant artist in Mexico today.

		His life and work have coincided with radical changes in the twentieth century, and he is the last of a generation of artists with direct ties to the avant-garde movements in Mexico during the 1920s and 1930s.

		Given Álvarez Bravo's recognition of the importance titles have, the absence of a specific reference to these workers leads me to believe that its social context was created some sixty years after the fact.

		This Bravo is so far from being understood in the United States that he seems a shaman speaking in tongues, a primitive in paint and feathers.
		Bravo came of age in a Mexico in which 800 wealthy families held all the land in Mexico, and nearly seven million rural laborers earned a few pesos a week.
		Bravo grabbed a model, and had his friend Dr. Francisco Arturo Martin wrap her in suggestive gauze bandages, leaving breasts and pubic area uncovered.

	Manuel Alvarez Bravo: Ironizing Mexico by John Mraz
		When Alvarez Bravo began photographing in the 1920s, the cultural effervescence that followed the Mexican Revolution (1910-1917) had unleashed a national search for identity, and the question of what to do with Mexico’s inherent exoticism was the burning issue for photographers.
		Perhaps influenced by his relationship with Weston and Modotti, Alvarez Bravo was the first Mexican photographer to take a militantly anti-picturesque stance, and he achieved international recognition for work which reached creative heights from the late 1920s through the mid-1950s, a period during which he perfected a sophisticated approach to representing his culture.
		Alvarez Bravo left the Fondo in 1980 to work with the Mexican-based media empire, Televisa, where his collection of photography was exhibited and published in a three-volume set.

		Just as the "popular," in Alvarez Bravo's understanding, is inseparable from the personal, so the natural and the artificial are intertwined.

	arborweb reviews - review: Manuel Alvarez Bravo
		Though acclaimed by colleagues around the world as a master photographer, and the recipient of several prestigious awards, Alvarez Bravo — one of whose prints recently sold for $54,970 — remains so little known that even the UMMA misspelled his name on its exhibit publicity.
		The problem with these three and at least three other prints in the UMMA exhibit is that they seem overexposed when compared with those featured in Aperture magazine's breathtaking 1997 Alvarez Bravo monograph and in its 1987 Alvarez Bravo collection.
		Although Alvarez Bravo's vision still shines through, "it's like listening to a CD on three-inch speakers instead of full-sized ones," as my friend noted.
