This book challenges the persistent myth of Bravo as a singular genius by foregrounding the artist’s connections with some of the greatest minds of his day and by looking at the photographer’s long career through the lens of projects he created with others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book considers many kinds of collaboration, including Lola Álvarez Bravo’s contributions to the artist’s early photographs, the mentoring he received from Tina Modotti, his portraits of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, his work in the film industry during the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema alongside Luis Buñuel and Gabriel Figueroa, his mentoring of Graciela Iturbide, and his book project with Octavio Paz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe intention is not to suggest that working together is always better than working alone. Indeed, the essays in this volume argue that many of these working partnerships were lopsided, providing one figure with substantially greater agency than the other. What rises to the surface is the idea that collaboration is an inherent part of the creative process, particularly in the field of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDistributed for the Des Moines Art Center\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDes Moines Art Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (October 25, 2025–January 18, 2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46792129609964,"sku":"9780300282368","price":95.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24821423482294.jpg?v=1756995845"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/hector-m-orozco-velazquez.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
