Manuel Alvarez Bravo - Eyes in His Eyes

This highly sought-after out-of-print art monograph acts as the companion catalogue to the landmark 2007 exhibition at the RoseGallery in Santa Monica. Over his legendary 80-year career, Álvarez Bravo only publicly exhibited and published a small fraction of his work. Eyes in His Eyes was culled directly from the master's private archives—partially before his death and completed posthumously—to unearth previously overlooked masterpieces, rare street photography, landscapes, and unfamiliar abstractions. It includes an introductory text by scholar Guillermo Sheridan and an afterword by Rose Shoshana.

Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902–2002) is universally recognized as a Modern master and Mexico’s most significant artistic photographer. Rising to prominence with early backing from legendary peers like Tina Modotti, Edward Weston, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Álvarez Bravo spent nearly a century capturing the social geography and poetic landscapes of Mexico. His imagery transcends standard documentary work, infusing everyday Mexican life, architecture, and portraiture with a dreamlike, surrealist mystique rich in candid beauty and heavy symbolism.
