Gelatin Silver Print

Manuel Alvarez Bravo, born in 1902, was an adolescent living on the outskirts of Mexico City when the Mexican revolution (1910–1920) reached its zenith. Running over the hills during intervals of peace, he would sometimes find a body lying dead and abandoned, the victim of brutal and often random violence. By the time Alvarez Bravo reached adulthood, nearly one million Mexicans had died due to starvation and fighting between rebel factions struggling for power, he captured his memories of this time in “Obrero en Huelga, Asesinago (Striking Worker Assassinated).” However, his childhood was not lost to these disturbing realities. The experience of watching a local amateur working beneath the red light of a darkroom lamp remains a powerful memory for Alvarez Bravo from those formative years. It was his introduction to what became his livelihood and passion, the creative art of photography.
This photograph comes from the portfolio, "Fifteen Photographs" produced in 1974, edited by Lee Friedlander, published by Double Elephant Press. Introduction by André Breton. Edition 75 plus 15 AP's
