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.

I like the new scripted portion but I'm glad you kept the old lecture style in there too. Another great video, Ted. Best channel on RU-vid. Cheers.

Hi Ted, I was not a huge fan of Tina Modetti but you manage to make me appreciate her because I didn't know about her activist life and her intentions as a photographer. You’re a great researcher and you exceed in the art of communicating the life’s story of past and present photographers. In such short capsules, we feel were “in touch” with what triggers those artists you have covered. Where you exceed, I sin. I know a lot about the works of photographers you have covered but fail to know the story behind of most of them. So you shed the light on that which I ignore and in doing so, you instruct me to renew my observations when looking back at these photographs. Keep on the excellent work - “See you in the next video, Later”

Her life story always gives me the chills. So happy to see her work featured on your channel.

❤ A great photographer in my opinion. Her death at age 46 is very suspicious, despite the autopsy findings of heart failure.😢 I am glad you made this video, thank you. 🎉

Ted, Great video! There is also another book on Tina titled "Shadows, Fire, Snow - The Life Of Tina Modotti" by Patricia Albers. 300+ pages with some photos. It answers many questions about her life and death. Thanks for the great video! - McCoy

Please Martin Chambi from Peru. The most celebrated south american photographer of the last century

Another great introduction to a photographer I knew little about. I certainly think you are filling a vacuum in our knowledge of photographers. I believe there could be a future for you in television work with the facilities of a full production team, where you could develop an archive of material for the current and future generations.

Another compelling video, Ted. Thanks

Felicidades por las reseñas que hace de estos fotografos tan importantes.. Ojalá y los pudiera subtitular en Español, por qué son sumamente interesantes, y usted es una persona con grandes conocimientos.. Muchas gracias. Saludos desde México......

I have been fascinated by Tina Modotti since my art college days..her photo 'roses'is one of my favourite images and it should have been in the book

@Chickboom34 9 лет назад

Excellent stuff. Thank you. Am a big fan of Weston and knew of Tina Modotti but never experienced her photography or learned about her personally.

My favorite book sad ending

@hilltopviewer8204 2 года назад

Tina looks like the Mona Lisa in that first photo. The photographs are well ahead of there time.

Great video Ted. Love the background music what is it?

@speakslowlyplease 7 лет назад

I suppose it was composed by Ted himself, check out his personal channel

@gabrielwertman5705 9 лет назад

Hi Ted, some great mexican photographers that might interest you are Manuel Alvarez Bravo and a student of his Graciela Iturbide who is still alive and is currently regarded as the top Mexican photographer. She immersed herself in the Native cultures here in Mexico and has some great portraits. Let me know if you need any resources or links or even translations of some of her works and interviews!!
