Bravo Exhibition
2005-07-21 by bradspix
Just wanted to let people know there's an exhibition of Manuel Alvarez Bravos' photographs at the San Jose Museum of Art. Bravo, who died a few years ago at age 100, was regarded by many as Mexico's greatest photographer. He was a master at capturing everyday Mexican life with an eye towards the odd and symbolic. One thing that's interesting is the size of his prints - around 7x9 inches, which seem small today, but in no way diminishes the power of his images. The show runs until September 11. Worth seeing if you are in the SF Bay Area - and it's free! Brad Urban pix: http://www.citysnaps.net
