Indepth Arts News: "Women of Mexico: Photographs by Lola Alvarez Bravo, Marianna Yampolsky, Graciela Iturbide, Flor Garduno and Marcela Taboada" 2004-08-06 until 2004-09-18 Throckmorton Fine Art New York, NY, USA United States of America
The opportunity to see the work of these artists displayed side by side in a group show demonstrates the many parallels in their work. The influence of the Mexican master Manuel Alvarez Bravo is evident with each of the five photographers. Lola Alvarez Bravo was influenced by her husband, Yampolsky studied with Lola in the 1940’s, Iturbide was Manual Alvarez Bravo’s assistant in the 1960’s as was Garduño in the 1970’s, and Taboada is currently a member of the board of consultants of the Manual Alvarez Bravo Photographic Center in Oaxaca. Each of these women has examined their country with a critical yet sympathetic eye and we the viewers have been blessed with the fruits of their vision.
