The work of Emmanuel Honorato Vázquez, the most representative photographer Ecuador has ever had, remained hidden since his premature death in 1924 at the age of 31 until today. This book recovers the important visual legacy of the artist. Emmanuel Honorato Vázquez's story is a tragic one of extraordinary beauty. The conservative society of his time would have preferred his work to disappear: it scorned the rebellious, bohemian, anticlerical man with an irrepressible vital impulse. This book serves as a minimal introduction to the creative fervor of this great artist and to a historical period in which Latin America awakens lucidly to the whirlwind of modernity.
