Libros de Historia y crítica de la fotografía, página 34 de 302

Este libro es el primero que se edita en inglés con fotografías de Tomás Casademunt, autor de Son de Cuba y Fábrica de sueños. Ofrece una mirada a las famosas ruinas zapotecas de Mitla, cercanas a la ciudad de Oaxaca. Tras una meticulosa investigacion de campo, Casademunt selecciono 13 vistas nocturnas de este paisaje arquetipico, impecablemente compuestas y sin concesiones ni a lo idilico ni a lo pintoresco. El caracter emblematico del lugar se transforma mediante una vision que penetra sus misterios y signos eternos inscritos en la piedra. Contiene ademas una serie de extractos sobre Mitla, escritos por viajeros y arqueologos de los siglos XIX y XX, que se complementa con una fotografia original autografa inserta solo en 100 de los 1,000 ejemplares impresos. Por su alta calidad de produccion, resulta de gran interes para los aficionados a la fotografia, la arquitectura y la arqueologia.

Lost Boys, Slava Mogutin's first monograph, is a compelling collection of his portraits and landscapes taken over the past ten years--since he was exiled from Russia for "malicious hooliganism with exceptional cynicism and extreme insolence." Although it was his outspoken gay writing that angered the Soviet authorities, Mogutin's photographs caused just as much controversy. Provocative yet iconoclastic, his work transcends the conventions of male nude photography, confronting the viewer/voyeur with a raw style and new sensibility. A cross between porn and fashion, pop culture and marginal kink, Lost Boys is a poetic and sometimes raunchy journey into different obsessions and fetishes of the cosmopolitan urban youth culture. Crimean rasta boys, Russian wrestlers and military cadets, German skinheads, and football hooligans are among the subjects of these incendiary but intimate portraits.

Bert Stern, the famous commercial and fashion photographer of the 60s, was the last to be granted a sitting by Marilyn Monroe six weeks before her tragic death. The three-day session yielded amazing picturesfashion, portrait, and nude studiesof indescribable sensual and human vibrancy, of which Mr. Sterns favorites are published in this book. The monumental body of work by the master photographer and the Hollywood actress marks a climax in the history of star photography. It is a unique affirmation of the erotic dimension of photography and the eroticism of taking photos, and it is the worlds finest tribute to Marilyn Monroe. In 1954 Bert Stern opened his first studio in New York. Besides working for IBM, Vogue, Glamour, Life, Revlon, and Smirnoff, he is famous for his portraits of celebrities such as Anna Nicole Smith, Elizabeth Taylor, Gary Cooper, Louis Armstrong, Catherine Deneuve, as well as Marilyn Monroe. Accompanying the incredible photos are Marilyns conversations with the photographer: Im not going to take off my pants, she declared. Just roll them down, then. She rolled them way down low on her hips so I could see the label, which read JAX. I saw the scar now. It was on the right side of her stomach. A blemish, an imperfection that only made her seem more vulnerable and accentuated the incredible smoothness of her skin. She was the color of champagne, the color of alabaster. We were ready to begin.

A eso de las siete de la tarde la Gran Vía se convierte en un río de gente. Las oficinas se vacían, los obreros se van a casa, pero las tiendas y los cafés están concurridísimos, y los policías de trafico, silbando y gritando, intentan frenar a los coches que zumban de un lado a otro. Al cabo de un rato se toma el aperitivo y se limpian los zapatos para el gran desfile al que no faltan las madres y los niños. En la calle Hortaleza los cafes de los artistas estan a tope. (Bert Schierbeek, mayo de 1955)
