This book provides an in-depth art-historical exploration of photographer Tina Modotti's brief yet impactful career from 1923 to 1930 during her time in Mexico. It features a collection of duotone images, including revolutionary still lifes, portraits, street scenes, and studies of Mexican workers and folk art, many of which are rarely reproduced. Sarah M. Lowe offers a detailed biographical essay, covering Modotti's influences from Italy, her bohemian life in California, her relationship with Edward Weston, and her involvement in Mexico's artistic and political circles. This catalogue accompanies a comprehensive exhibition celebrating Modotti's centennial.
