Synopsis
Now widely recognized as one of the early twentieth century's most extraordinary photographers, Tina Modotti was remembered until recently more for her relationship to Edward Weston than for her own strong, sensuous work. This comprehensively produced biography, now published for the first time in paperback, captures in over 100 striking photographs and a sympathetic, meticulously researched text the fullness of a life wholly committed to political, personal, and artistic freedom. From her early days in Hollywood as a silent film actress, through the creative, fruitful years in Mexico with Weston and her political exile in 1930s Europe, to her sudden death in 1942, Tina Modotti's courage, clear vision, and dramatic flair made her one of the most internationally controversial and widely admired artistic figures of her day. Perceptive and authoritative, Tina Modotti lifts the veil on a fragile life of iron.

    I needed this for the project I’m working on. It arrived quickly. These are hard to find in retail, and are expensive. It was packed securely, and with care. Just as pictured, in like new condition. Very pleasant transaction. I highly recommend this 5star seller!!!

    The item was well wrapped to prevent breaking. Although this item was a significantly lighter color in the picture than the dark green I received it works out fine. With the cost of the item and shipping fees I spent more on the purchase than I like to but bear in mind I’m a tightwad.
