Product Description
Born in 1902, Manuel Alvarez Bravo is Mexico's most celebrated living photographer. His far-reaching body of work includes many of the 20th century's most recognizable and iconic images. Collected here is a seductive, timeless, and entrancing sampling of the maestro's nudes, images taken in 1939 and as recently as the 1990s. Sensitively edited and sequenced by Ariadne Kimberly Huque, and with an impassioned and poetic introduction by Carlos Fuentes, this delicate, elegant volume beautifully reproduces some of Bravo's most favorite work, and provides an intimate window through which to view the career of one of the camera's true masters.

Nudes and somehow blues, light and delicately lovely August 2, 2005
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is beautilly edited and beautifully printed on somehow matte paper, prints are somehow very light, delicate. As these photographs are : light, delicate. For me this is the best nude photography I have ever seen. I also like very much the nude photographs made by Edward Weston. But for Weston the nude is a study of lines and forms, at least this shows in a lot of his photographs. For Alvarez Bravo women and beauty are more than that. By the way Alvarez Bravo photographed these women I have these two thoughts : Alvarez Bravo liked photography very much but he loved women a whole lot more. Very highly recommended for anyone who loves photography in a more serious way and loves women.
[It is a thiny little bit of a pity that about 8 pages in my copy are somehow wrinkled but this really is a miner problem and as this is the second copy that was sent to me (first copy never reached me) I really don't mind about it.]
