PAUL STRAND, "THE MEXICAN PORTFOLIO"
"The Mexican Portfolio" by listed photographer, Paul Strand. Signed second edition of a masterful reworking of the 1940 original with 20 photogravures prepared under the photographer's supervision. Limited edition to 1,000 copies, signed and numbered by Strand. This example is number 376. The photogravures are hand-printed from the original plates on BFK Rives by Albert Delong. Strand took the original photographs in 1932-33 as a prelude to his work on the film Los Redes, and the 1940 edition, under the title Photographs of Mexico, was limited to 250 copies. This copy contains a prefatory note by Leo Hurwitz, new note for this edition by Strand, and a statement of homage by David Alfaro Siqueiros. The portfolio comes in its original packaging as shown in photos and came from the estate of listed Oregon photographer, Harry Gross. In excellent overall condition, please see photos and reach out for any additional condition reports. Paul Strand was an American photographer and filmmaker who, along with fellow modernist photographers like Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston, helped establish photography as an art form in the 20th century.
