Photographers Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, Paul Strand, and Helen Levitt were among the U.S. artists who traveled to Mexico during the interwar period seeking a community more receptive to the radical premises of modern art. Looking closely at the work produced by these four artists in Mexico, this book examines the vital role of exchanges between the expatriates and their Mexican contemporaries in forging a new photographic style. Exploring how these dialogues resulted in a distinct kind of modernism characterized by inter-American interests, it reveals the ways in which cross-border collaboration shaped a new "greater American" aesthetic.
