Paris was brimming with life during the 1930s, and Picasso and Brassai were there to make the most of it. Picasso, thrilling the art world with his works, and Brassai, portraying boulevards and gardens, shops and markets, intellectuals and beggars. The contrasts of Paris parade in front of his camera, from the dark underworld to the radiance of its artistic environment, where he profusely portrayed artists and writer friends, such as Dali, Matisse, Giacometti, Genet and, of course, Picasso, whom he met in 1932 and whose sculptural work he was the first to photograph. This book is about that artistic environment, through which the Parisian intelligentsia is shown in beautiful black-and-white images with the unique signature of the Hungarian photographer. The book includes an excerpt by Henri Miller on Brassai, and a chapter of Brassai's autobiography speaking about his relationship with Picasso. AUTHOR: Brassai, name of the Hungarian photographer Gyula Halasz (1899-1984). He studied painting and sculpture in Budapest before working as a journalist in Berlin and later settling in France, where he developed his photographic career. Among his most notable series was Paris de nuit, in which he photographed scenes of the city's nightlife. He also photographed Parisian life extensively, the atmosphere in the streets by day and night, and the social meeting places, from cabarets to gardens, from the coffee shops frequented by intellectuals to the markets at dawn. Between 1936 and 1963, he worked as a photographer for Harper's Bazaar magazine, and was also a filmmaker and author of numerous articles and nearly twenty books. 120 images.

The main characters in his photographs are the weak, the disowned and all of those who struggle on a daily basis to survive. This book brings together images of workers breaking up boats, abandoned refugees, amateur boxers, garbage collectors in dumps and members of armed gangs among other subjects. Since 2006 Javier Arcenillas has been working on an essay about violence in Central America. His photographs document pain, desperation, impotence and fear. His first works to gain recognition were Sicarios ("Hitmen") and Nota roja ("Red note"), both installments of his trilogy about death in El Salvador, Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala, followed by Latidoame rica, its final part, the focus of which shifts to the tales of the victims of the indiscriminate violence prevalent in Honduran society. A number of these photographs have appeared in these countries' newspapers. The group of photographs included in this book goes a long way to define Arcenillas's work: striking images with a precise narrative discourse stir powerful emotions in the viewer.Shooting in black and white, making use of the close-up to introduce his scenes and playing with only partially focused subjects he arrives at his individual and feisty vision.

This book features the great retrospective of the American photographer Henry Wessel which is exhibited in February at the Centro Jose Guerrero de Granada and which includes a selection of his most representative photographs. A journey to the American West throughout the lens of this photographer in whose photographs light and forms take center stage.
Wessel's visual sensibility captures spontaneous and everyday pictures with a strong attention to quiet and simple scenes, sometimes adding touches of irony and humor. Wessel is known mainly for his black-and-white images that he took traveling around several American states in search of motifs to photograph. His parking lots and beach-goers photos are remarkable.
The book also includes illustrative images by authors contemporary to Henry Wessel, such as Ed Ruscha, Lee Friedlander, Diane Airbus, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Nicholas Nixon, Robert Adams and Walker Evans. -

Collection la plus accessible du travail de Robert Adams à ce jour, cette version espagnole du livre de l'université de Yale présente une séquence narrative éditée avec soin de plus d'une centaine de photographies à travers 45 ans d'une remarquable carrière, avec une postface de Joshua Chuang et Jock Reynolds. Robert Adams a été décrit comme l'un des chroniqueurs les plus singuliers et originaux de l'Ouest américain. Adams commence la photographie dans les années 1960 dans le but de capturer les changements topographiques rapides dont il est témoin à Denver où il vivait alors. Depuis, il a développé, au fil de ses quarante années de carrière, un style connu pour son austérité, sa particularité et sa vision nuancée. Cette sélection retrace la longue relation entre les images de Robert Adams et la vie aux Etats-Unis, une relation basée sur la beauté de l'humanité et sa communication avec la nature.

Première femme américaine correspondante de guerre, Margaret Bourke-White avait aussi quelque chose d'une star des médias avec son portrait en tenue de vol, sur le point de déclencher son appareil photo lors d'un bombardement aérien, une des pin-up préférée des forces américaines. En se concentrant sur le travail de M. Bourke-White des années 1930 et 40 en Tchécoslovaquie, Allemagne, Italie, Union soviétique et le Royaume-Uni, Moments in History présente 150 photographies classiques accompagnées de correspondances et de publications, M. Bourke- White voulait être les «yeux de l'époque», et ses photos témoignent (comme elle le disait) de son "désir insatiable d'être présente quand l'Histoire est en train de s'écrire." Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) est née Margaret White dans le Bronx, à New York, et a grandi dans le Middlesex dans le New Jersey. Selon son frère Roger, "Son intérêt pour la photographie a commencé comme un hobby, soutenu par l'enthousiasme de son père pour les appareils photographique". Bourke- White a attiré l'attention pour la première fois avec ses photographies de l'usine Otis Steel, qui l'amena à travailler à Life, où elle fit partie de l'équipe de photographes de 1936 à 1940. Elle est morte à Stamford, dans le Connecticut à l'âge de 67 ans en 1971.
Enorme succès lors de la première de l'exposition à Berlin, cet ouvrage comble le manque bibliographique sur l'une des photographes américaines les plus importantes de tous les temps.
