The Archives of negatives, publications and documents of Manuel Álvarez Bravo.

Series of MAB printing platinum/palladium by Jain Kelly.

Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902-2002) is a pioneer of artistic photography in Mexico, one of Latin America’s emblematic photographers and considered one of the 20th century’s foremost representatives of world photography. The themes of his works allude to the human condition beyond the limits of geographical boundaries. His aesthetic, both classical and modern, was nourished by the cultural expressions of his native Mexico and influenced by cubism and the possibilities of abstract art as well. The archive was founded to complement and strengthen the Manuel Álvarez Bravo Association’s efforts providing services to the public.
