Esther Gabara

Errant Modernism

The Ethos of Photography in Mexico and Brazil

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"With subtlety and rigor, Esther Gabara deftly expands the horizon of photographic history and redefines the contours of twentieth-century modernism in the Americas. Focusing on the social and cultural 'ethos' of aesthetic practice in both Mexico and Brazil, she provides a provocative corrective to formalist definitions that dominate the field and demonstrates that the full story of photographic modernism has yet to be told."--Jennifer A. Gonzalez, author of "Subject to Display: Reframing Race in Contemporary Installation Art"
