Her sensual, melancholic beauty inspired the work of the most brilliant artists, photographers, and writers of her time, including Diego Rivera, Edward Weston, and Pablo Neruda. Her fierce commitment to the social and political causes of the working class and her affiliation with the Mexican Communist Party landed her at the center of national controversy in Mexico. A gifted photographer in her own right, Modotti is now widely recognized as one of the great artists of the early twentieth century. It was through her work as a model that she met photographer Edward Weston. Though already married to California poet Roubaix de l'Abrie Richey (known as Robo), Modotti fell in love with Weston and with photography and left with him for Mexico in 1922. In Mexico Modotti blossomed, both as a talented artist and as a dedicated worker for the cause of the revolutionary left, and befriended artists Rivera and Frieda Kahlo. In 1929 Modotti, under suspicion by the Mexican police, was arrested in connection with the murder of Julio Antonio Mella, a Cuban revolutionary and her lover. Though the killers were never identified, the Mexican press raised a scandal by publishing nude photographs of Modotti taken by Weston. She was eventually exiled from Mexico. Denied re-entry to the United States, Modotti field to Germany and then to Moscow, where she abandoned her photography and worked as a bureaucrat for the Communist Party and traveled on clandestine missions for the 'Red Rescue.' In 1936 Modotti moved to Spain, where she met Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Andre Malraux, and Robert Capa. Although Capa tried to encourage her to take up her photography again, Modotti was by now dedicating herself exclusively to political militancy. At the fall of the Spanish Republic in 1939, Modotti returned to Mexico, where she died on January 5, 1942." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The young revolutionary; Into the maze; Photography and militancy; Crossing borders; A kind of homecoming.
