LOLA ÁLVAREZ BRAVO (1907-1993)
Homage to Salvador Toscano, Mexico 1949
Image Size: 18,2 x 22,8 cm
Gelatin silver print, printed in the 1960s on double-weight semi-matte paper, flush-mounted on original cardboard 40,5 x 35,6 cm, in excellent condition. Signed by the photographer on the lower mount in pencil, titled, annotated "Acapulco", and several numbers in pencil on the reverse.
The photographer created this image under the impression of the fatal plane crash of a fellow artist friend, Salvador Toscano. She found the dead crane floating in the water during a boat trip and then carefully arranged it in the sand. The pictorial conception shows her orientation to surrealism.
