Tina Modotti当时的生活
完整生平1924
Joint exhibition with Weston
A joint exhibition of Modotti's and Weston's work is held in Mexico and attracts enormous attention.
1926
Weston leaves Mexico; meeting the Communists
Weston leaves Mexico and returns to California. During this time Modotti meets political radicals and Communists, among them three Mexican Communist Party leaders — Xavier Guerrero, Julio Antonio Mella and Vittorio Vidali — who would all eventually become romantically linked with her.
1927
Joins the Mexican Communist Party
Modotti joins the Mexican Communist Party and becomes far more politically active: her focus shifts, and more and more of her work becomes politically motivated. The Mexican photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo divided her photographic career into two categories, “Romantic” and “Revolutionary”.
1929
Mella assassinated; Modotti arrested
Julio Antonio Mella is assassinated while walking in the street with Modotti from the offices of Red Aid; Modotti is arrested at once but later released and cleared of his murder.
1929
One-woman retrospective at the National Library
A one-woman retrospective of Modotti's later work opens at the National Library; it is advertised as “The First Revolutionary Photographic Exhibition in Mexico”.
1929–1930
Interrogations and a press campaign after the attempt on the president
After an attempt on the life of Mexican President Pascual Ortiz Rubio, Modotti — a target of both the Mexican and Italian political police — is questioned about both crimes amid an anti-communist, anti-immigrant press campaign that depicts “the fierce and bloody Tina Modotti” as the perpetrator. A Catholic zealot, Daniel Luis Flores, was later charged with shooting Ortiz Rubio, and José Magriñat was arrested for Mella's murder.
