Blanco, Lázaro
He spent much of his professional life at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where he studied Architecture and Physics. During his forty-two years of uninterrupted academic work, he trained several generations of photographers in his renowned Photography Workshop at Casa del Lago Juan José Arreola. Blanco's work was instrumental in the organization and founding of the Mexican Photography Council in 1978 and 1980. A confessed lover of "real simplicity," which can manifest itself when one fixates on a point without knowing why, Lázaro Blanco presented his last retrospective exhibition, "Temporary," in April 2010 at the Center of the Image.
