Pedro E. Guerrero: A Photographers Journey

Poster

Discover the remarkable life and work of Pedro E. Guerrero, a Mexican American born and raised in segregated Mesa, Arizona, who had an extraordinary international photography career. Using an exclusive interview with Guerrero along with his stunning images, the film explores his collaborations with three of the most iconic American artists of the 20th century: architect Frank Lloyd Wright and sculptors Alexander Calder and Louise Nevelson.

Pedro E. Guerrero: A Photographer’s Journey highlights the milestones in Guerrero’s life, including his serendipitous enrollment in photography classes, his 1939 meeting with Wright in Arizona, his World War II service and his postwar magazine photography career in New York City. Using his outsider’s eye to produce insightful portraits of important modernist architecture, Guerrero became one of the most sought-after photographers of the “Mad Men” era.
