Synopsis

An incomparable portrait artist and Colombia's most outstanding photographer of the second half of the 20th century, Hernán Díaz is a cultured and versatile professional. Together, the hundred black-and-white photographs collected in this book form a gallery of Colombia's most important social, cultural, and political figures from the 1960s to the present day. Though the subjects are often public figures, Díaz's evident comradery with them brings a rare intimacy to their portraits. A critical study of his work accompanies the reproductions.

En la fotografía de escenas y de gentes colombianas, y particularmente en el retrato, Hernán Díaz imprime un sello especial que lo distingue de sus contemporáneos y le ha permitido dejar el más humano y ponderado documento de su época en Colombia. Para este libro se han escogido cien retratos tomados a lo largo de las cuatro últimas décadas del siglo veinte. Cada retrato es el resultado de la relación del fotógrafo con su modelo, y la selección se hizo teniendo en cuenta la calidad fotográfica del mismo y la representatividad de cada personaje en su medio.
