Tinisima

by: Elena Poniatowska
The writing is interesting, but I must admit, I put the book down and started another. A bit of a tough read, I wasn't draw into the book. It just seems a little flat. So many good reviews, maybe I will try to read it again because the story sounds very interesting. Am I alone in this?

A charismatic stage and screen actress. A model whose beauty inspired some of the most arresting images of the twentieth century. A visionary photographer. A revolutionary with deep commitments to communism. A woman whose life, loves, and death were controversial. Tina Modotti (1896–1942) was all of these.

Tina Modotti (Phaidon 55's)

by: Margaret Hooks
Tina Modotti was not only a good photographer, she was a GREAT one! I don't think we would even know who she was today if it wasn't for her wonderful photographs. I loved this little book and it's a perfect companion to Margaret Hooks' excellent biography: Tina Modotti, Photographer and revolutionary. All Tina fans should have this!
