Lola Alvarez Bravo - Elizabeth Ferrer

Lola Alvarez Bravo is often over-shadowed by her more famous photographer husband, Luis.  This excellent book displays the span of her photographic work and shows her to be a worthy photographic.  The text is well written and provides an informative biography.  She lived in an exciting time for the arts in Mexico.  Her friendship with Frida Khalo is described in the text and many intriguing pictures of Frida are included in this book.  For any fan of photography, this is compelling body of work showing a unique vision and documenting a time of creative expression in Mexico.
