		Tina Modotti was born in Northern Italy and spent her childhood years amid its scenes of bitter labor strife.

		Tina's composition pulls the viewer directly into the photograph with the alternating tones of highlights and shadows and the strait lines of the seating gradually moving the eyes to the left.
		Tina poses her subjects fairly close to the background, more than likely standing and occasionally leaning against the wall, lighting is primarily from the side and I suspect it was generally only natural light.

	Tina In Mexico \| Bullfrog Films
		Longfellow's film weaves archival footage, the luminous photographs of Tina Modotti and Edward Weston, the murals of Diego Rivera, and lyrical re-enactments, to conjure up the political, artistic and intimate spaces of their lives in Mexico during the 1920s.
		Anything but a standard, linear biography, Tina in Mexico does draw from a timeline of Modotti's life, but is more interested in understanding her as an artist, a woman, and an activist, and in looking at how these facets often clashed and overlapped...
		Longfellow does a fine job of measuring Modotti's influence on Mexican art and politics, as well as the reasons for her eventual expulsion from the country and departure from photography.

	Excerpt from Tina Modotti (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Tina renewed her acquaintance with Xavier Guerrero, then a young painter working with Diego Rivera; his sister Elisa; Jean Charlot, the painter and writer who had been in Mexico since 1921; Jose Vasconcelosk, the guiding spirit behind the Guerrero in 1923, when he brought a folk art exhibition to Los Angeles.
		It is not difficult to assume that Tina, like so many women at that time, was making clear her disdain of bourgeois morality and affirming a single standard in her relationships.
		Tina was starting to worlk on her own, and in Brenner's opinion what she did was in an entirely different mood.

	Swans Commentary: Tina Modotti: A Blank Face Between Art And Revolution, by Peter Byrne - pbyrne11
		Modotti was born in Udine, and we are happy enough to learn the address of the family home there, 113 Pracchiuso Street.
		Tina was a year old in 1897 when she began her itinerant life and her father, a mechanic, took the family to Austria in search of work.
		Tina Modotti, sharing all these visions, had been dispossessed of her own: that of a land where she could help and love the poor, undisturbed by homicidal ideologues.

		As with Frida Kahlo, for years Tina Modotti was primarily known for her beauty as a model for painters and photographers, for her love affairs, as a figure of scandal.
		Tina married an artist, and they went to Los Angeles where she acted in silent films, often having to supply her own costumes, typecast as the exotic femme fatale.
		Tina herself was accused of Mella's murder, but the press attacked her as much for her sexual freedom as for her politics, publishing nude photographs taken by Weston, and she was forced to leave Mexico after a sensationalistic trial.

		Tina Modotti: A Life begins with Cacucci's retelling of the night in 1929 that Modotti's perhaps greatest love, Julio Antonio Mella, was murdered in the Mexico City streets while the couple was out walking.
		This episode from Modotti's life could be told with an emphasis on the injustices she faced in the wake of a tragic loss, but Cacucci's rendering is riddled with the kind of florid, hyperspeculative prose that seems to trail Modotti like a pernicious vine.
		Modotti got up and went to take a cigarette from the pack that was sticking out of the pocket of her heavy wool coat.
