This film seeks to reflect the work of this great artist, whose creations were linked to life, as defined by the director of the Museum of Fine Arts, curator of his work and personal friend, Andrés Duprat. “His production was built on his affinity with the celebrities of the time; like a fascinating vernacular Truman Capote fascinated by the unfolding of a world of ephemeral and exciting beauty ", Explain.

"With his photographs, Kuropatwa contributed to the construction of the artistic myth by increasing the glamor of the people who passed under his lens ", added Duprat.
