Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A pocket-size collective portrayal of Mexican women in found photographs, from the era of the daguerreotype to the 1960s. This pocket-size volume presents an entrancing selection of studio and vernacular photographs of Mexican women from the mid-19th century to the 1960s. Through the careful editing of photographer Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, the sequence of images coalesces into a narrative of women's empowerment. As photographic technology advances in the book-transitioning from daguerreotypes to color film-so too do the rights of the women pictured, who become increasingly mobile, expressive and exposed. Yet, regardless of the era they belong to, all of the women appear intensely alive, emboldened by their position before the camera. Las Mexicanas underscores the intimate and powerful relationship between the photographic medium, women and those who were fortunate to have a camera in their hands. Many of the images in this edition originate from a private collection, accumulated over a decade of visits to the flea markets of Mexico City, with the assistance of connoisseurs and support from booksellers and merchants. This particularity gives the volume a unique value, attracting an audience interested not only in antique photography and collectibles, but also in social sciences, feminism and cultural representations. Contextualizing these captivating images is an essay by author, sociologist and economist Brenda Navarro, author of the award-winning novels Empty Houses and Ash in the Mouth. A work that transcends time and space, Las Mexicanas celebrates the strength and diversity of Mexican women across generations, and serves as an essential item for those seeking to appreciate the richness of Mexico's history and culture.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. Agustín Jiménez. Y la vanguardia fotográfica Mexicana. Carlos A Cordova. published by Editorial RM,Mexico City hardcover with 1/2 cover dustjacket. Text in Spanish. Agustín Jiménez, (Mexico City, 1901 1974), was at the center of the rise of the photographic avant-garde in the 1920s and 1930s. The beginning of the avant-garde in Mexico can be established with the arrival to this country of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti. The relationship between local and foreign artists led both of them to break aesthetic boundaries. Jiménez is known for forging an indigenous version of romantic pictorialism, for his technical innovation and for his formal experimentation. Agustín Jiménez collaborated closely with the Mexican illustrated press in the 1920s and 1930s, the latter decade in which he became involved with the nascent national film industry, first as a still photographer and then as a cinematographer, and where he collaborated with such relevant figures as Sergei Eisenstein, Adolfo Best Maugard and Fernando de Fuentes. This co-edition by RM and the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City includes an important body of photographs by Jiménez of a markedly avant-garde nature. "corner spine tear, otherwise very good".

Softcover. white wraps w/ black printing; yellow, vellum jacket. 70 pgs w/ primarily color plates. Text in English. Thoroughly illustrated with the works of Argentine artist Marcelo Brodsky and Mexico city born artist, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio. "Dialogue allows us to discover what makes us similar, but also what sets us apart. It is the supreme challenge of our capacity to accept, where tension and contradictions, agreements and differences are resolved in a double gaze, in a common quest, begins writer Sandra Lorenzano in her introduction to Correspondence, which presents a volley of images e-mailed between Buenos Aires-based Marcelo Brodsky and Mexico City-based Pablo Ortiz Monasterio. Throughout the project, each photographer responded to the other's last image, poetically, playfully and intuitively combining the chance of a ready-made with the complexity of photographic memory. This volume's bold design reflects the artists' process: the spreads include one image by each artist, with the last image from the previous spread repeated on the first page of the next spread. Seeing each image twice creates an uncanny and suggestive vibe, replicating the instantaneous method in which the photographers worked and causing the viewer to draw unconscious connections."--WorldCat.

Photographs and text (in Spanish) by Yvonne Venegas.

This first edition was limited to 1600 copies. New in New dust jacket. From the publisher: "María Elvia de Hank is a view from within that observes the life, family, and circle of María Elvia de Hank, the wife of the eccentric millionaire and former mayor of Tijuana Jorge Hank Rohn. As the axis of the project, the wife of one of the richest businessmen in Mexico is observed creating, with her perfectionist's touch, a social ideal that takes its place as an example in both public and private life. This feminine axis, perfectly administered, is portrayed against the background that supports it, occasionally awakening doubts in the spectator as to its veracity. A mansion, a collection of animals, a soccer team and its fans, a casino, a school, horses, elegant clothes, all seen through the light and dust of northern Mexico, the land that can be found in a ranch, or a zoo, or some half-built construction. This volume gathers a body of work reflecting the modes of thought that has brought the aforementioned elements to light, without making judgments and without meeting the expectations of others, be they subjects or viewers. This is a document that includes fragile moments, gestures, encounters between persons and animals: taken together, they depict a lifestyle to which we are seldom privy.".

New (from Friedlander's personal archive). From the publisher: "One of the masters of contemporary photography, Lee Friedlander has dedicated his career to the documentation of everyday life in the United States. His images are characterized by a composition that utilizes the urban geometry of storefronts and street signs and later car windows and telephone poles as a framing technique. This catalog, published in conjunction with a retrospective organized by the Fundación MAPFRE in Madrid, surveys the wide scope of Friedlander's career from the 1960s to today. High-quality reproductions of all of the exhibited works are supplemented by text written by curator Carlos Gollonet and photographer Nicholas Nixon. The volume serves as a comprehensive guide to Friedlander's body of work, with personal insight provided through an interview between Maria Friedlander and gallery director Jeffrey Fraenkel, as well as a chronology of the artist's life by his grandson Giancarlo T. Roma. Lee Friedlander was born in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1934, and studied photography at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. In 1956 he moved to New York City, which quickly became both the setting and subject of the majority of his work. Friedlander was represented alongside Diane Arbus and Garry Winogrand in the 1967 New Documents exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, now understood as a landmark event in American documentary photography. Friedlander still lives and works in New York, and is represented by the Fraenkel Gallery." Signed by Author.

This first edition was limited to 1000 copies. Published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City. New in publisher's packaging. From the publisher: "Standing almost 14 inches wide by 20 inches tall, this exquisitely produced volume affords readers an unprecedented opportunity to study the work of the important Canadian artist/photographer Jeff Wall at the large scale for which his work is known. Informed by conceptual art, historical painting and avant-garde film, Wall began to produce large-format color transparencies, presented on light-boxes, in the late 1970s--a format that has become strongly identified with his work. This volume includes recent examples of this work, as well as large black-and-white prints--a format first incorporated into Wall's practice in 1996. Wall divides his photographs into two categories: documentary and cinematographic. A documentary photograph for Wall is tied to the traditional understanding of this term--a depiction of a specific time and place, without any overt manipulation on his part. A cinematographic photograph involves some form of intervention or restructuring by the artist. This category has ranged from slight movements of elements within a given situation to more elaborate approaches that involve the construction of sets and other aspects of stagecraft. Wall is best known for his cinematographic photographs, which have had a large influence on the expansion of notions of how the medium can be engaged. Rich in references to the natural environment and distinct urban character of Vancouver, where the artist lives and works, the photographs reproduced in this volume were primarily produced during the last seven years."
