'''''Natcho Aguirre, Santa Clara, Mexico''''' is a black and white photograph taken by [[Henri Cartier-Bresson]] in 1934, while in a travel to [[Mexico]].
The picture appears staged, but its context and significance are left unexplained. It depicts to the left an anonymous man, with his face cut out and only partially visible, exposing his bare chest covered by his crossed arms, with his hands held up in fists, while his pants are partially unzipped. The man seems to be contorting in either agony or ecstasy, in a somewhat Christ-like pose, like if he were protecting or piercing his breasts. Its visible at his right a shelving cabinet with two groups of shoes.<ref>[https://ift.tt/3kAKsR2 Natcho Aguirre. Santa Clara. 1934, V & A]</ref>
The enigmatic and erotic composition, with the juxtaposition of apparently unrelated elements demonstrates the influence of [[Surrealism]] and the notion of "convulsive beauty", exposed by [[André Breton]] in the artist work, like also his love of geometric forms.<ref>[https://ift.tt/35GTJ63 Henri Cartier-Bresson, Art Story]</ref><ref>https://ift.tt/3mDBu7o Natcho Aguirre, Santa Clara, Mexico, National Gallery of Australia]</ref>
There are prints of this photograph in several public collections, including the Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson, in [[Paris]], the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]], in [[New York City|New York]], and the [[National Gallery of Australia]], in [[Canberra]].<ref>[https://ift.tt/2ZYvFrl Natcho Aguirre, Santa Clara, Mexique, Metropolitan Museum of Art]</ref>
