Religious Grace In Photographs February 12, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is a book of photographs of the interiors of Churches in Mexico, and their shrines and alters, and saints which adorn them.

Porter's photographs capture a religious grace which is direct, simple, beautiful, and moving. Seeing these pictures gives an outsider into a window on a world in which life may be difficult, but heart and faith are celebrated and strong.

Arquitectonic richness of Mexican churches April 14, 2000
10 out of 12 found this review helpful

Contiene una amplia coleccion de fotografias que muestran la gran variedad y riqueza arquitectonica de las iglesias de México, algunas de las cuales son poco conocidas, y que en cierta medida deben su esplendor al sincretismo cultural hispano-indigena. Las fotografias fueron tomadas alrededor de 1956, por el excelente fotografo, sobre todo de paisajes, Eliot Porter (quién abandono la fotografia por la medicina).

It contains a large colection of photos that shows the great variety and arquitectonic richness of Mexican churches, some of them are not well know, and their splendor is in certain way product of the cultural hispano-indian sincretism. The photos were taken around 1956 by the excelent photographer, landscape specialist, Eliot Porter (who quit medicine for photography).
