COLLECTOR'S COPY.

Alberto Garcia-Alix (born 1956) is widely considered Spain`s most popular contemporary photographer. Emerging from the post-Franco era of free expression known as La Movida, Garcia-Alix vividly captured Madrid`s countercultural revolution in the late 1970s and 80s. Surveying the artist`s career, this publication spans that pivotal period to the present, examining his work in multiple genres.

La Fabrica Editorial, Madrid. 2010. First edition, first printing.

Hardcover with dustjacket (as issued). 240 x 280 mm. 336 pages. Photos: Alberto García Alix. Coordinators: Nicolas Combarro, Domenico Chiappe, Luisa Lucuix. Editing and graphic design: Joaquin Gallego. Text in English and Spanish.

Highly impressive photobook - in perfect condition.

"Photography, says García-Alix, is a medium that transports the viewer to the other side of life. Under this premise, his work acquires a poetic character, an acute sense in which each of his portraits takes on a transcendent dimension.
His coherent artistic outlook allows this book to cover 30 years of his career, without it being possible to speak of a retrospective. Rather, this work consists of a narrative, a life story, that of the artist himself. As García-Alix says: "If yesterday I photographed silences, today I photograph my own voice".
(from the publisher)

"Alberto García-Alix (Spain, 1956) is one of the most important names in contemporary European photography. His work, charged with great intensity and profound poetry, has shaken the world of the visual arts by fleeing cultural and moral censorship, which has led him to construct a complex universe. His first photographs deal with the rebelliousness that pervaded Madrid in the eighties, from the most intimate side, that of the narrator who is also the protagonist. The portraits of his friends, a large group of artists linked to the new culture, reflect the spirit of a generation."
(from the publisher)
