Rulfo, Juan
He is considered one of the great contemporary writers of Latin America. As a young man, he made a living as a traveling salesman. During that time, he began taking photographs, compiling a splendid body of photographic work between 1940 and 1955. World-renowned for his anthology of short stories "The Burning Plain" (1953) and his novel "Pedro Páramo" (1955), Rulfo did not publish again after that. He was the director of publications at the Mexican Institute of Indigenous Studies. His photographic work was later exhibited and published in the book "Inframundo," which was reprinted three times in 1983.
