[Toledo, Spain]
Paul Strand American
Not on view
In April 1970, Paul Strand and his wife Hazel traveled to Spain and the Canary Islands at the recommendation of their friend Grace Mayer, then a curator of photography at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Stopping in Toledo, Strand made this photograph of the city from the same vantage point that El Greco used in his View of Toledo, ca. 1599-1600, now a treasure of the Met’s collection. To make the photograph, Strand used his wife’s Mamiya C22 twin-lens reflex camera, cropping the square negative to a vertical format in the print.
