    Featuring forty-five iconic images of Mexico in the first half of the 20th-century, Manuel Alvarez Bravo and His Contemporaries: Photographs from the Collections of the Harry Ransom Center and The Blanton Museum of Art examines the life and work of Manuel Alvarez Bravo. Commonly referred to as the father of Mexican photography, Bravo is considered one of the most important figures in the development of modernism in Mexico. Organized as part of the University of Texas’ celebration of the Mexican Bicentennial, the exhibition will also include photographs by Bravo’s contemporaries, Edward Weston, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand and others, drawn from the collections of The Blanton and The Harry Ransom Center.
