Jimenez is known for having forged autochtonous versions of romantic pictorialism, technical innovation, and formal experimentation. Jimenez also collaborated closely with the Mexican illustrated press during the 1920s and 30s, also becoming involved during the latter decade with the nascent Mexican motion picture industry, first as a still photographer and later as a cinematographer, and collaborating with figures of the importance of Sergei Eiseristein, Adolfo Best Maugard, and Fernando Fuentes. This book, which appears under the joint imprint of RM and the Museo de Arte Moderno, includes a large section of photographs by Jimenez and a well-deserved overview of his work as a whole
