Author: Marse, BertaFeaturing nearly 300 photographs from the 19th century to the present, this revised edition of the 2015 publication is a celebration of Barcelona & its people, offering a portrait of the city through the lens of multiple generations. Images by local photographers such as Catala-Roca, Colita, Masats & international greats such as Erwitt, Koudelka, & Parr are accompanied by contextualising texts. This is an unrivaled exploration of a city that has inspired & will continue to inspire anyone who visits.Dramatic images by Cartier-Bresson, Gerda Taro and Chim during the Civil War contrast with more recent work by Colita and Miserachs, and with the sophistication and glamor of Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton. Famed figures make appearances as well: Picasso, Miró, Dalí, Ava Gardner, García Márquez, Cortázar and others are captured in this beautiful tribute to Barcelona’s cultural history.
