Frida Kahlo. Her photos (ePub)

Pablo Ortiz Monasterio is a Mexican photographer, writer and editor born in Mexico City in 1952. He is internationally recognized as one of the most representative artists of the Mexican contemporary photography.
In his youth, his parents used to travel frequently and narrate their experiences to their children using transparencies. He says that the possibility of narrating experiences using images was something that marked him forever. When Monasterio was 16, he discovered the work of French photographer Bernard Plossu, and that is when he decided that he wanted to be a photographer. He studied economics at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, but during the 1970s he moved to London and studied photography at the London college of Printing. He had his first solo exhibition at the Creative Camera Gallery in 1976. The following year he returned to Mexico and began teaching photography at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana.
Ortiz Monasterio is noted for his vigorous promotion of Mexican photography and culture. He has been a follower of Josef Koudelka, in his particular way of constructing a photographic discourse based on a specific theme; in the case of the Mexican, the theme has centered on the daily expressions of indigenous cultures. In the 1980s he edited numerous books, mainly monographs on Mexican photographers.
He was a founding member of the Mexican Council of Photography; in 1989 he was coordinator of the project 150 years of Photography in Mexico and was director of the magazine Luna Córnea. His publications include: El Mundo Interior, 1979; Los Pueblos del Viento, 1981; Testigos y Cómplices, 1982; Tierra de Bosques y Árboles, 1988; Tiempo Acumulado, 1991 Corazón de Venado, 1992 Akadem Gorodok, 2013, and HARTAS, 2022, just to mention a few.
