Book Synopsis



Convertida en leyenda, tanto por su vida como por su obra, Tina Modotti tuvo una existencia llena de pasión y de furia.


Después de migrar de su natal Italia y tras un efímero paso por Hollywood, Tina Modotti llega a México a principios de los años veinte en compañía de Edward Weston, fotógrafo estadounidense con quien trabaja como modelo e imbuye en ella su pasión por la fotografía. Ahí se encuentra con las vanguardias europeas y una comunidad artística e intelectual entusiasta por los ideales revolucionarios: Diego Rivera, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Jean Charlot, entre otros. Luego de la muerte del héroe cubano, Julio Antonio Mella, de la que es acusada, su fervor por la causa comunista la lleva a luchar en la guerra civil española, hasta que regresa a tierras mexicanas, siempre con la mira puesta en materializar sus ideales de justicia social a través del lente de su cámara.


La Biblioteca Elena Poniatowska reúne la obra narrativa, ensayística y biográfica de la retratista por excelencia de la condición histórica de las mujeres. En Tinísima, da cuenta del espíritu de una de las artistas más deslumbrantes del siglo XX, cuyo legado la ha convertido en leyenda.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Converted into a legend, both for her life and her work, Tina Modotti had a life full of passion and fury.


After migrating from her native Italy and a brief stint in Hollywood, Tina Modotti arrived in Mexico in the early 1920s accompanied by Edward Weston, an American photographer with whom she worked as a model and who imbued her with his passion for photography. There, she encountered European avant-garde movements and an artistic and intellectual community enthusiastic about revolutionary ideals: Diego Rivera, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Jean Charlot, among others. After the death of the Cuban hero, Julio Antonio Mella, for which she was accused, her fervor for the communist cause led her to fight in the Spanish Civil War until she returned to Mexican lands, always with the aim of materializing her ideals of social justice through the lens of her camera.


The Elena Poniatowska Library gathers the narrative, essayistic, and biographical work of the portraitist par excellence of the historical condition of women. In Tinísima, she recounts the spirit of one of the most dazzling artists of the 20th century, whose legacy has made her a legend.
