############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NZonNPbsnU

Tina Modotti showed an interest in photography from an early age. Her uncle Pietro Modotti ran a photography studio in Italy and later her father ran a similar studio in San Fransisco. After moving to Los Angeles with her boyfriend Robo Richey, Tina soon became friends with Edward Weston. Weston became a mentor and inspiration for Modotti’s development as a fine art photographer an by 1921 she was modeling for Weston and the two soon began an affair. • As her photography skills began to mature, Modotti’s work included lyrical images of peasants and workers and experiments with architectural interiors, flowers and urban landscapes. Mexican photographer Manuel Alvarez Bravo notes 2 distinctions in Modotti’s work being both “romantic” and “revolutionary”. The romantic aspects of her work undoubtedly influenced by Weston and the revolutionary from her growing interest in politics. • Book: Tina Modotti Revolutionary Photographer http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1921... • MoMA Collection: http://www.moma.org/collection/artist... • Philadelphia Museum of Art Collection: http://www.philamuseum.org/collection... • This video is sponsored by Lynda.com • For 7 days of free, unlimited access visit http://lynda.com/aop • Subscribe for more videos! • http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • Twitter: / tedforbes • Instagram: / tedforbes • Facebook: / aop.podcast • Pinterest: / tedforbes • Website: http://theartofphotography.tv • Watch More Episodes: • Sebastião Salgado • Sebastião Salgado • Charles Sheeler • Charles Sheeler • Photography Interpretations • Photography Interpretations • And get on our mailing list to stay up to date on photography news and the latest episodes: • http://theartofphotography.tv/about/m... • Thanks for watching - if you like this video, remember to share it with your friends! • Ted Forbes • The Art of Photography • 3100 Main St #135 • Dallas, Texas 75226 • • My name is Ted Forbes and I make videos about photography.
