First Artist: Sue Clark – Fine Arts photographer and first guest artist for ENACTION Art Show.

Sue's BIPOC artist: Lola Alvarez Bravo – (Mexican, 1907-1993)

 Sue Clark’s fine art photography submission:  “Ruben of Mexico”

 Lola Alvarez Bravo is recognized as Mexico’s first successful female fine arts photographer. Ms. Bravo was well-known for her candid portrayals of Mexican subjects. The intention of her photography was to reveal the deeper meaning of the culture of Mexico. Her career arc included being named head of the photography department at Mexico’s National Institute for Fine Arts, which was a trailblazing position for a woman at that time. She had many art friends, including Paul Strand, Diego Rivera and  Frida Kahlo. In fact, in 1953, Lola’s Mexico City gallery sponsored Frida Kahlo’s first and only solo exhibition in Mexico in Frida’s lifetime. Ms. Bravo’s archive was bequeathed to the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona in 1994 upon her death. Her images hang in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Art, Houston, and the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.
