Modotti developed a reputation in Mexico among the artists of the Mexican renaissance for being an able photographer of artwork. Certainly her travels with Weston while both were photographing for Anita Brenner's book, Idols Behind Altars would have honed her skills in this regard. Her close personal relationships with many of the artists would have contributed to her commercial status as well. The group of prints offered here reveals the range of work she supplied. The views include not only copy photographs of paintings and drawings by Diego Rivera, Xavier Guerrero, Francisco Goitia and other artists but there are numerous views of the public art works that Rivera was famous for - his murals for the offices of the Secretaries of Labor and Education. Details of murals include The Distribution of Land, The Reparation of Land, Campesino During Revolution. The views include soldiers working, a flower vendor and a typical Rivera touch - a portrait of Frida Kahlo incorporated into a socialist mural. The hand colored prints were possibly done in preparation for a film on the Mexican revolution, planned by Bruno Traven, author of Trasure of the Sierra Madre. The film would tell the story of the revolution as shown through the artists' murals, as represented in Modotti's photographs.
