Tina Modotti: A Fragile Life. Mildred Constantine. Fotografías. Inglés.

Now widely recognized as one of the most extraordinary photographers of the early 20th century, Tina Modotti was remembered until recently more for her relationship with Edward Weston than for her own strong and sensual work. This hardcover book with a dust jacket captures in more than 100 powerful photographs and a comprehensive and meticulously researched text the fullness of a life totally committed to political, personal and artistic freedom. From her early days in Hollywood as a silent film actress, through the creative and fruitful years in Mexico with Weston and her political exile in 1930s Europe, to her sudden death in 1942, courage, clear vision, and Tina Modotti's dramatic talents made her one of the most controversial and internationally admired artistic figures of her day. Perceptive and authoritative, Tina Modotti lifts the veil of a fragile iron life.
