Tina Modotti was an
excellent photographer of her time. She was born in 1896 and died in 1942. She
was an Italian model, actress, a political activist as well as a photographer.
Ms. Modotti's mainly took
photos in black and white. Much of her photography consisted of geometrical
shapes, abstract compositions, different textures, shadows, and light. Later in her work, she became
interested in flowers, where she also captured beautiful details and lighting.
I love Ms. Modotti’s work because
it reminds me of very rustic yet beautiful artwork. Her work is flawless without color. She
captures the mood with her awesome lighting.
Her artwork seems to tell a story. Perhaps the hat and hammer maybe
symbolizing strength and hard work in her life, but still beautiful through her
use of flowers. If there is one thing
that I would take from her artwork, it would be the rugged yet eloquent
beautiful artwork that she has shared with the world.
