Here’s a famous one, Our Lady of Iguanas: However, I had only seen scattered images of her work. I am glad to recall through this graphic biography Graciela Iturbide, the great Mexican photographer, maybe the second most famous woman Mexican artist. “Bird is dream is camera is self is life.” “Photography reveals flocks of birds with unclipped wings moving inside me.I am a woman and then a bird.” “We are all fragments of one another, strewn across. Quintero's writing is contemplative, philosophical and wonderfully done.Ī beautiful quality graphic biography, published by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles - and highly recommended for anyone into photography, cultural studies, and landscapes.Īfter reading this book, I really enjoyed seeing more of her work online, and stumbled across this great interview with Iturbide that shows many of her pieces. The biography includes many of her photographs, and graphic renderings of the photograph by Zeke Peña. Some photographs also capture her travels to California and Arizona in the US. Traveling to different states and regions, she photographed the indigenous Seri people of the Sonoran desert, portraiture in markets in Oaxaca, cityscapes in Mexico City, and natural landscapes, particularly cacti, birds, and reptiles of Mexico. Some of her best known work is in the intersection of humans and nature in Mexico. Iturbide's work spans decades and themes, and this book traces her background, training, and inspirations. An exemplary biography of Graceila Itrubide, a Mexican photographer and artist.
