Frida
Kahlo de Rivera (1907- 1954) born Magdalena Carmen
Frieda Kahlo y Calderón
Mexican painter influenced among others by indigenous cultures of
Mexico, European Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism.
Many of her works are self-portraits. Kahlo was
married to Mexican muralist Diego Rivera
Manuel Alvarez
Bravo received his first photographic camera in 1923,
and began his essays on aesthetics and the technical
work of photography, but did not begin professional
photography until 1925
Bravo was
never formally a member of the surrealist movement,
his work displays many characteristics of surrealism,
and he was exposed to many of its founders. His work
often suggests dreams or fantasies, and he frequently
photographed inanimate objects in ways that gave them
humanistic qualities
