PORTLAND - (1903-1993), a pioneering figure in the rise of modernist photography in Mexico, is widely recognized as Mexico's first woman photographer. Alvarez Bravo was a profound humanist who used the camera to chronicle the people and places of her beloved country over a remarkable six-decade career. On view Jan. 5 through March 16, the Portland Museum of Art will feature 55 vintage photographs spanning Alvarez Bravo's entire career. The first major representation of her work in over a decade, the exhibition will include several rarely seen and unpublished photographs and an excerpt from a short film by Alvarez Bravo featuring painter Frida Kahlo.
This weekend the Portland Museum of Art opens an exhibit of 55 photographs taken by a woman many believe was Mexico's first woman photographer. Lola Alvarez Bravo (1903-1993) was mentored by her photographer husband, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, but soon developed a style of her own. She is recognized for her modernist photography and her portraits, particularly those of her friend, the artist Frida Kahlo.

Se pone a reclamarnos la gente", aseguró Martínez. "Lo bueno que la mayoría de los músicos que ahora traemos pues son familiares. Sus papás fueron músicos en alguna ocasión y ellos sí entienden al músico", dijo el hijo de Blas Martínez, quien...

Yo creo que el arte de [Frida Kahlo] maduró en San Francisco", afirma [Hayden Herrera], quien también considera que fueron tiempos felices los que pasó Kahlo en esta ciudad; muy diferentes a los que vivió al año siguiente en Detroit, Michigan, cuando tuvo un doloroso aborto en el hospital Henry Ford. A partir de ese momento (1932), "el dolor se convirtió en uno de los grandes temas [de Kahlo]". La obra que forma parte de la colección permanente del SFMOMA, es una especie de retrato de bodas, el cual fue realizado por Kahlo un año y medio después de casarse con [Diego Rivera] en México. Según Herrera, ese cuadro refleja muchos datos interesantes sobre el vínculo entre los dos artistas. "Es una de las pinturas más alegres que tienen que ver con Frida y Diego y su relación", explica Herre...
