Artist
Señan y Gonzáles
Señan y Gonzáles is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Señán y Gonzáles snapped photographs like they were collecting gossip, always in pairs, always candid. They roamed 1920s Mexico City with a Rolleiflex hidden in a messenger bag, snapping street vendors at dawn or lovers mid-spat, then quietly slipped the prints into local papers under pseudonyms. Their favorite subject?
The backside of buildings, crumbling walls, peeling posters, because, they said, "the city’s real face is what it hides." You’ll find their unsigned prints tucked inside old copies of El Universal; hunt down the March 12, 1927 issue.
