Graciela Iturbide.






Graciela Iturbide. Photographs by Graciela Iturbide. Fundacion Mapfre, 2009. 290 pp., Black & white illustrations throughout, 9x10¼".

"Over the four decades that her photography has spanned - with her native country of Mexico as the consistent point of departure - Graciela Iturbide has created a unique world of images which draw both on documentary witness and poetic imagination, whilst weaving the author’s experiences and dreams into a surprising fabric of historical, social and cultural references.

Produced to accompany one of the most extensive presentation of Iturbide’s work to date, this stunning catalogue presents a thought provoking collection of images that have been created between 1979 and 2008.

Photographs are reproduced on thick paper, one image per page in high quality black and white ink and accompanied by three essays along with bibliographic information."
