In conjunction with Roaming Mexico: Laura Wilson comes this captivating, intimate exhibition featuring the work of the influential Mexican photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902–2002), one of the most important artists in 20th-century Latin America. His work captures the soul of Mexico through striking compositions that blend surrealism, modernism, and documentary traditions. A contemporary of luminaries such as Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and Edward Weston, Álvarez Bravo’s photography reflects the complexities of Mexican identity, often juxtaposing the everyday with the enigmatic. The exhibition will feature more than 30 silver gelatin prints spanning from the 1920s to the 1980s, drawn from both the Meadows’ own collection and those of esteemed institutions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Together, these images offer a compelling window into the artistic and cultural landscape of 20th-century Mexico.

This exhibition has been organized by the Meadows Museum and is funded by a generous gift from The Meadows Foundation. Promotional support provided by NBC 5 / Telemundo 39 and the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District.
