                "biography": "Manuel Alvarez Bravo Mexican, 1902-2002\r\n\r\nBorn in Mexico City, Manuel Alvarez Bravo has achieved international fame as one of Mexico's most talented photographers. In 1918 he studied painting and music at the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes. After taking up the camera in 1924, Alvarez Bravo was encouraged by photographers Hugo Brehme and Edward Weston to pursue a career in the medium. Over the next several years he worked as a government employee, a photography instructor, and a photographer for the magazine Mexican Folkways. In 1931 he became a freelancer specializing in the reproduction of paintings and other works of art. A variety of jobs followed, including that of photographer and cameraman at the Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Producci\u00f3n Cinematogr\u00e1fica de M\u00e9xico (1943-59). He also served as cofounder, director, and chief photographer for El Fondo Editorial de la Pl\u00e1stica Mexicana, a publisher of fine art books (1959-80).\r\n\tAlvarez Bravo has been awarded the National Arts Prize of Mexico (1975), named an honorary member of the Mexican Academy of Arts (1980), made an Officier des Arts et Lettres in France (1981), and received the Hasselblad Prize (1984). He has had numerous individual exhibitions at venues throughout the world, including the Palacio Nacional de Bellas Artes, Mexico City (1934, 1968, 1972), the Art Institute of Chicago (1943, 1974), the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego (1990), and the J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu (1992).\r\n\tAlvarez Bravo's personal work is deeply rooted in Mexican culture, as were the paintings of his friend Diego Rivera and the other Mexican muralists. Like them, he has focused on his country and its people to create straightforward, evocative images. Alvarez Bravo lives in Mexico City. M.M.",
