About the Item

Frida en xochimilco, México 1941. by Leo Matiz Image size: 15.5 in. H x 23.5 in. W Frame size: 25.5 in. H x 33 in. W Black and white photography Unique Exhibition print. “Printed later by the Leo Matiz Estate" All photographs are accompanied by Leo Matiz Estate certificate of originality. ___________ Leo Matiz was one of the most important photographers in Latin America, he lived in Mexico in the 1940s and was a close friend of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, whom he immortalized with his camera. These intimate color portraits allow viewers a glimpse of the culture of 1940s Mexico and the intimacy of Frida's friendship through the lens of Leo Matiz, who captured her artistic expressiveness. Leo Matiz summarized his artistic pursuits by saying: “I am a painter because of activism, photographer because of hunger, and crazy because of talent.” Indeed, Matiz began his career as a caricaturist for political and literary publications, with a keen eye for gesture, features, and scathing humor. These illustrations were particularly influenced by the work of Gustave Doré, George Grosz, Nadar, and Guadalupe Posada. He later began working as a photojournalist in Mexico for a number of international publications but began to use the medium to explore more artistic themes. His keenness for caricature served him well in his photographic portraiture, for which he is best recognized today. Matiz’s subjects included Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, Marc Chagall, and Pablo Neruda.
