This exceptional collection of prints represents an Álvarez Bravo whose creative output can be distinguished by a virtuosity and daring characteristic of contemporary photographers of a much larger generation than his own.

Bravo's photographs are not surreal: they do not rely on the disjunction of image or subject for their provocation; rather they are a natural, elegant confluence of personal symbols and cultural perspicacity arranged under his intuitive skill and inimitable aesthetic. Thus enfolded within his self-described and perfectly realized "fantasy" rather than a specific location or time, Bravo's images today retain the expressive wit with which they were first imbued.
