Mexico is one of the lands where magical realism or surrealism continues to live in every day life. Salvador Dalí, the great Spanish surrealist said, “There is no way I’m going back to Mexico. I can’t stand to be in a country that is more surrealist than my paintings.”

You can see this in Iturbide’s work. She carries on the legacy of Manuel Álvarez Bravo, the father of Latin American photography. Iturbide’s photographs make you say OMG and smile. There is nothing as surreal as life itself.

“Graciela Iturbide’s images allow you to enter into an intimate world where the very essence of a person’s soul, or a landscape’s allure, has a startling and tactile resonance.” ~ Spencer Throckmorton
