Archive Label: These photographs are the work of the still-living Mexican artist Manuel Alvarez Bravo. They were selected from the Spencer Museum of Art’s collection of works by the artist which includes both individual photographs and a Manuel Alvarez Bravo Portfolio. Representing six decades of Alvarez Bravo’s active production, the photo-graphs range from formal abstraction to straight-forward representation. In both, the artist captures a sense of place and his own national identity. While the individual photographs not included in the portfolio were printed at various times, those from the port-folio were printed in Mexico City in 1977. Photographs in the portfolio are titled in both Spanish and English, however, they are not necessarily exact translations.
