"I have always been interested in art, and I lived under the illusion (very widespread at the time) that photography was the simplest form of artistic expression. When I recall my experiments in other artistic disciplines in those years, I realize that I have finally found my path." (Manuel Álvarez Bravo)

Manuel Álvarez Bravo is the most well known of Latin American artist photographers with a body of work that extended from the 1920s until the 1990s. In 2005 the Asociación Manuel Álvarez Bravo AC was founded by his family to catalog his negatives and prints, preserve them, exhibit his work and to move towards opening a museum.
