Manuel Carrillo: Mi Querido México

Manuel Carrillo: Mi Querido México (My Beloved Mexico) features 25 enchanting and evocative photographs from the Bank of America Collection. Known as El Maestro Mexicano (The Mexican Master), Carrillo (1906–1989) is celebrated for his endearing black-and-white images of indigenous Mexico. Distinct in their formal compositions, with dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, Carrillo’s photographs focus on the expressions of his subjects as well as on the everyday beauty of rural communities in postrevolutionary Mexico.
