Emmanuel Honorato Vázquez

The work of Emmanuel Honorato Vázquez, the most representative photographer of Ecuador, has been hidden since his premature death in 1924. This book remains the important visual legacy of the artist.Emmanuel Honorato Vázquez has a tragic history of an extraordinary beauty. The conservative society of his time would have preferred his work to disappear: he despised the rebellious, bohemian, anticlerical man with an irrepressible vital drive. This book is a minimal introduction to the creative fervor of this great artist and to a historical period in which Latin America awakens lucidly to the whirlwind of modernity.
