Tina Modotti - life and photography

The exhibition retraces the life of Tina Modotti, an extraordinary woman born in Udine in 1896, through the presentation of more than 200 photographs, half of which are among the most significant photographs taken by Modotti, while there are about 100 images - referring to Tina's life, face, figure - taken by different authors such as Edward Weston, Johan Hagemeyer and Diego Rivera.
Presented for the first time in Milan Tina Modotti's exhibition offers 6 photographs totally unknown in Europe, as a result of a recent important finding in California, and allows the visitor to admire three rare images, printed by the photographer herself. The photographs on display are accompanied by 15 texts which include poems, testimonials, historical outlines and critical materials, as well as a series of documents, books, manifestos and more photographs.
