Rodrigo Moya
About this book
Life and professional career of photographer Moya considered one of the giants of the development of photojournalism in Mexico, particularly during the 70 year authoritarian regime of the political party PRI. Moya combined a sense of social and political journalism with a high artistic value in his photographs, obtaining a balance practiced only by Tina Modotti 50 years before. The book presents 31 photographs shot between 1955 and 1967 and includes images of the death of Francisco Goitia (Impacto, 1960), Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros (1957), Manifestation of teachers with cartel of the Taller de la Gráfica Popular(1958), Culatazo (1958), Canoa (1968), Pasajero (1966), Pistolero (1966), Portrait of Che (1964), and US Marine in Santo Domingo (1965) among others.
