"An elegant hotel now serving as an elementary school.the parlor of a grand mansion transformed into a barbershop . . .these are Havana's most intimate spaces. Having enjoyed four years of unprecedented access to the private interiors of Cuba's capital, Andrew Moore has created an unrivaled portrait of both its legendary historic architecture and the city s inner life. These rich and elegiac images capture intimate details and sensuous moods, creating an open-ended drama that unfolds with each viewing. Painterly light lends grandeur to Havana's most unlikely landmarks. Andrew Moore's work is distinguished by its singular perspective, one that combines a documentarian's love of subject and story with an unexpected poetry. / Andrew Moore is known for his large-format color photographs of architectural subjects. His prints are represented in museum collections internationally. He is a professor of photography at Princeton University and lives in New York." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover.
