Lola Alvarez Bravo (1903-1993) began her photographic career in the midst of the artistic and political ferment that followed the Mexican Revolution. Between the 1920s and 1940s, Mexico’s new socialist government promoted intellectual freedom and a greater role for the arts, attracting many influential photographers from Europe and the United States. Bravo, her husband Manuel Alvarez Bravo, as well as Americans Tina Modotti, Paul Strand, Edward Weston, and others became close friends who were free to explore new possibilities in their art.

In the new exhibition Lola Alvarez Bravo and Her Circle, explore how these artists escaped conventional methods of expression and, in turn, made major contributions to the Mexican modernist movement. This exhibition is free to the public and organized by Throckmorton Fine Art, New York.
