Walter Reuter overleden
Walter Reuter, who fled Nazi Germany and became a major icon of Mexican photography by portraying colorful but squalid life in indigenous communities, died over the weekend. He was 99.
Reuter arrived broke in Mexico in 1942 and began working with a borrowed camera. He became one of the first outsiders to take pictures of indigenous women, focusing on their daily chores like making tortillas and getting water.
His photos may be best remembered for bringing public attention to the primitive living conditions in Mexico's indigenous villages.
