Synopsis

A lusciously produced monograph, Paul Strand in Mexico tells the story of Strands journeys through Mexico in the early 1930s. In search of a fresh start, Strand traveled to Mexico City in late 1932 at the invitation of Carlos Chávez, the eminent Mexican composer and conductor. The work he created during this key period reflects a time of intense productivity, creative renewal, and the evolution of Strands foundational idea of the collective portrait, in which he depicted a region through photographs of individuals, still lifes, and studies of architecture and religious subjects. The first publication to chronicle this pivotal time in Strands career (1932 - 34), Paul Strand in Mexico demonstrates how, through his photographic studies and work in film, Strand deepened his involvement with Mexican art, society, and revolutionary politics. Shedding new light on this little-known chapter of Strands life, author James Krippners in-depth, scholarly analysis brings together primary research from distinguished archives and institutions in both Mexico and the United States, and Mexican photo-historian Alfonso Morales contributes an essay contextualizing this remarkable body of work within the cannon of Mexican photography and film of the 1930s. Additionally, the appendix serves as the catalogue raisonné of Strands entire photographic output in Mexico. The culmination of Strands time in Mexico was his collaboration with Emilio Gómez Muriel and Academy Awardwinning director Fred Zinnemann on the groundbreaking film, Redes (The Wave; 1936). A remastered DVD version of the film is included with this essential volume.

À propos de l'auteur

Paul Strand is among the great photographers of the twentieth century. As a youth, he studied under Lewis Hine at the Ethical Culture School in New York. From the beginning, his work redefined the bounds of photography, drawing acclaim from an array of sources, including Alfred Stieglitz. After World War II, he traveled around the world―from New England to Ghana, France to the Outer Hebrides―to photograph, creating a dynamic body of images. James Krippner is Professor of History at Haverford College, Pennsylvania. He is a scholar of Hispanic and Iberian studies, specializing in visual culture, in particular photographers and the images they produced in Mexico from the 1920s through the 1940s. He is currently Associate Editor and Book Review Editor for The Americas: A Quarterly Review of Latin American History, and the author of Rereading the Conquest: Power, Politics, and the History of Early Colonial Michoacán, Mexico, 1521–1565 (2001).
