Presents "Looking In, Looking Out: Latin American Photography". An important addition to the rather scant literature on its all-important subject. "The documentary nature of Latin-American photography has brought clarity and artistic appreciation to the countries of the region since the camera arrived in the 19th century. The photographers of Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, and other nations have captured the traditions, societal changes, urban and natural landscapes, and varied architectures of their countries. Investigates the cultures and histories of various Latin-American countries through the lens of nostalgia, propaganda, a populist aesthetic, and evolving perspectives. 'Looking In, Looking Out' presents work by twenty photographers that spans 80 years" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Alejandro Cartagena, Luis Gonzalez Palma, and Latin-American photography collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the 2015 First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with the 2017 Reissued Edition. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white and color plates. Some of the greatest photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO "IMAGE AND MEMORY: PHOTOGRAPHY FROM LATIN AMERICA 1866-1994" TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1590054229.
