Tito Vásquez : Obra Fotográfica (1940-1970)

"Never trust him with a camera, he would become a jeweler of the image."
Joris Ivens

Every time the collection of a Chilean photographer appears and is integrated into the collections
of the National Library, a memory that was invisible and perhaps immobile resurfaces. It is at this time that the conservation, cataloguing and digitization of the images plays a decisive role in the rediscovery of his work. Today, we present with great emotion the work of a lens, undoubtedly fundamental to the history of Chilean photography of the twentieth century, Tito Vásquez.

Tito Vásquez's archive, which was carefully guarded by his children, Valeria and Álvaro, is made up of more than twenty thousand photographs in various formats, both negatives and copies, as well as documents that reveal the career of a photographer who stood out for his sensitivity, professional rigor and human warmth, who left a deep mark among his peers to this day. source: https://lom.cl/
