This picture was taken by Martín Chambi Jiménez , Peruvian photographer , in 1925 , Cuzco.
Martin Chambi was a photographer recognized
for his pictures of social testimony, historical and ethnic. He can to portray
the political, economic, social and cultural development of Latin America.
This photo show two men , one of them is a countryman and other a rich man, we can see the contraposition of this men , they
are very close to each other seems like the light contrast, in the black and
white photos, were also related to the quality of the fabrics and colors of
their costumes, and the size of the countryman in relation to the other man is
a very interesting way to make a
contraposition of these two worlds.
I love the work of Martin Chambi in his pictures we can see the Latin American rants from
its roots, but which itself evidence European domination and its influence in a
very critical point of view. I choose this picture in especial, because I consider one of the
most beautiful examples of his job.
I love that picture, is cool
