The work of Emmanuel Honorato Vázquez, Ecuador’s most representative photographer, has remained hidden since his untimely death in 1924, at the age of 31, until today.

Emmanuel Honorato Vázquez’s story is a tragic tale of extraordinary beauty. The conservative society of his time would have preferred his work to disappear: it despised the rebellious, bohemian, anticlerical man, with an irrepressible vital impulse. This book is a minimal introduction to the creative fervor of this great artist and to a historical period in which Latin America awoke lucidly to the whirlwind of modernity.
