William Myers reviews Graciela Iturbide's exhibition Graciela Iturbide's Mexico at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
"In the section headed 'Death at the Graciela Iturbide’s Mexico exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is a somewhat surreal photograph of two cardboard skeletons taped to a plate-glass window and shot from a point of view that makes it seem they are riding the tricycle parked on the sidewalk in front, “Day of the Dead, Mexico City” (1974). Death is an important part of the culture in Ms. Iturbide’s Mexico, as it has been in the life of the photographer. There are nine prints in the 'Death' section and incidental mementos mori elsewhere among the nearly 140 prints in the exhibition. All the prints are black-and-white silver gelatin, of modest format, and exquisitely executed." - William Myers, WSJ
