Looking For The Masters In Ricardo's Golden Shoes (Hardcover)

Hardcover. One summer a few years ago, photographer Catherine Balet and her friend, the stylist Ricardo Martinez Paz, were at the Arles Photography Festival in the South of France. Balet, who had often been amused by Ricardo's resemblance to Picasso decided to recreate Robert Doisneau's famous image of the painter with loaves for fingers and the publication of this and other early images on their Facebook pages aroused such enthusiasm that it prompted them to develop the work. The series now extends to over 120 images spanning the whole history of photography. Catherine Balet and Ricardo Martinez Paz revisit iconic photographs from the history of photography in a way that not only respects the original authors but also searches for the essence of photography. They trace a considered and thoughtful route through 176 years of photographic history to create a museum of the imagination.
