Laurent Aubague, « Manuel et Lola Álvarez Bravo : le couple fondateur de la modernité photographique au Mexique », Amerika, ID : 10.4000/amerika.5048
The rise of photography modernity in Mexico comes from the labour initiated by Manuel Álvarez Bravo and his wife Lola Álvarez in the 1930’s in Mexico. It is amazing to discover in this couple’s production the multiples echoes that exist between the works of both of them. Their creation as a whole is also significant as a sign of an opening to every invention of the photographic art all over the world. In that, they have been in unison with the most advanced aesthetic researches of their time. What arouses interest for both of these photographers are their many facets: inventors of a proper vision, they were also receptors and purveyors between North American, European and Mexican photography.
