Chambi Collection photography exhibition

Martin Chambi born in 1891, lived and worked in Cuzco from 1920 until his death in 1973. He practiced as a local and commercial portrait photographer. His studio was frequented by some of the most prominent members of Cuzco society. He photographed weddings, parties, dances, fiestas, but with such skill and perception that his work conveys 'with unexpected intensity the structure and mood of a complex colonial society meeting the 20th century.'
