Produktbeschreibung

Joan Colom is now recognized as one of the great photographers of the 1950s and 60s. His photographs of street scenes evoke with passion and respect the spirit of the Raval neighborhood in Barcelona during those years. This volume is a facsimile edition of the album Joan Colom prepared for his friend the gallery owner and photography critic Josep Maria Casademont. The photographs, some of them never before published, constitute a magnificent legacy which remained in the possession of the Casademont family until it was integrated into the collection of the Fundación Foto Colectania. The images were taken between 1958 and 1964 and belong to Colom's emblematic series Gente de la calle (Street People), not only the chronicle of a neighborhood and an age, but a genuine account of what it means to be human. The value of this collection of photographs is enhanced by the layout of the album, designed by Colom himself in an extraordinarily suggestive and expressive narrative rhythm. The images selected and their lively composition on the page transform this volume into a veritable artist's book. This facsimile edition has been published on the occasion of the exhibition Álbum. Joan Colom, held at the Fundación Foto Colectania in Barcelona from June to September of 2011.
