AGUSTÍN JIMÉNEZ
Agustín Jiménez photographs
Colophon signature by María Jiménez
Platinum prints 8 / 20
Each one signed by Ava Vargas and María Jiménez on back
Pieces: 15, in leather binder.
Portfolio limited to an edition of twenty, all platinum prints by Ava Vargas from the original negatives on Bergger Special 100% cotton rag paper, introduction and list of Works. Printed en "La Cueva", San Miguel Chapultepec, México.
A limited edition of twenty portfolio + 2 HC: Folio, title page. Introduction, table of contents, fifteen photographs. Platinum prints from original negatives by Ava Vargas on Bergger Special 100% cotton rag paper, 11 x 14 windows mounted, archival leather-bound based case. Each photograph is titled, stamped, and registered by Archivo Jiménez, and signed by María Jiménez and Ava Vargas.
The photographs selected for this portfolio were taken between 1927 and 1932, a period when Jiménez was at his most experimental and intimate; avant-garde photographer exploring a number of themes common to the formal Modernist concerns of the time.
Whit regard to context and the international style, his intuition for composition, the sense of light and object´s, multiplicity as a formal pretext in service of his craft, Jiménez can be positioned in the mainstream of a Mexican art searching for a national identity without becoming abstracted form its essential history. Jiménez maintained a close friendship with Serguei Eisenstein and produced famous portraits of the Russian cineaste. He also showed his work in México with photographers Manuel Álvarez Bravo and Emilio Amero, while in New York he exhibited alongside the renowned artist Edward Weston.
During the 1930´s photography in Mëxico formed part of the process of consolidating the nation´s industry and his context Jiménez participated in the official competition hel by the Tolteca cement factory. He won a major award for his photograph "Síntesis" which is included in this portfolio in its complete version.
His vision of machinery and industrial geography and of the Mexican worker as an element of composition, similar to that American and European contemporaries, gives his photography a solidity and a strength which continue to surprise. a) e) f) y l) published in: CÓRDOBA, Carlos A.
