Additional Details

This photograph was made with a bulky 8x10-inch view camera Modotti inherited from her paramour and mentor, Edward Weston. Modotti expert Margaret Hooks writes of the image: "The composition of this print enables the viewer to see the murals as they would have been glimpsed by a spectator happening upon them. The monumental entranceway serves as an aperture that both frames and highlights the works on display."
