Photographs, photographer unknown
Mats 13 in x 15 in; images 7 1/2 in x 9 1/2 in / mats 33 x 38.1 cm; images 19.1 x 24.1 cm
Provenance: Private collection, Tucson, AZ
Sold as a group.
This group of four Mexican photographs dates to the 1940s and is presented as a single set. The photographs appear to document people, daily life, and regional material culture, with this image showing a seated young woman beside baskets and woven or netted objects. The unknown photographer gives the group an anonymous documentary quality rather than a named studio or exhibition context.
The black-and-white printing, mounted presentation, and quiet composition place the photographs within mid-twentieth-century documentary photography. The image shown is direct and restrained, focused on pose, setting, and surrounding objects rather than staged drama. As a group, the photographs fit within Mexican regional material, ethnographic photography, and twentieth-century documentary collecting.
