Tina Modotti: Iskusstvo. Liubov'. Revoliutsiia / Tina Modotti: Art, Love, Revolution; : . .
St. Petersburg: Rosfoto, 2019. Sewn pb. The catalogue of an exhibition at Rosfoto, enter for the History and Exhibition of Photography in St. Petersburg, publishes photographs that Tina Modotti took in Mexico in the 1920s. Many were pointedly social; for example, her photograph of a worker sitting forlorn on a curb, his shoes and clothing work out, while behind him on the wall an advertising poster showed two men in tuxedos. In such photos she wished to uncover the seedy side of life and spur change in society. What lifted many of her pictures above photojournalism was their artistry: she had a way of choosing imagery that formed a vivid composition. Some of her photographs like the close-up of a typewriter were purely artistic in an avant-garde spirit. 111 p., 28 cm, 57 b/w illus., Rus. and ENGLISH. Item #4073
