Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 152 pages. Published in 1999. Retrospective collection of photographs. Now considered a contemporary art photography classic. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Luis Gonzalez Palma and James Crump: Oversize-volume format. Red cloth boards with titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Luis Gonzalez Palma. Essay by John Wood. Matching red satin ribbon bound-in. Printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper by EBS in Verona, Italy to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Luis Gonzalez Palma's "Poems of Sorrow". His very first book to be published in the United States. He has gained an international cult following for his portraits that are rich with the symbolism of indigenous myth and culture, Catholicism and humanity. The figures that inhabit Gonzalez Palma's mythic world (angels, devils, hybrid creatures, and enigmatic characters) transcend time and place, suggesting that mysticism and beauty are his ultimate subject matter. Regarded by the Nobel Laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez as the finest Latin-American photographer of his generation, the late great Garcia Marquez used "La Rosa" (duotone with oil varnish) for the cover DJ of his novel, "Of Love And Other Demons" (it was also used as the cover image for the Dutch Edition of Garcia Marquez's masterpiece, "One Hundred Years of Solitude"). Gonzalez Palma's photographs capture what he is trying to say about the paradox of Latin America: A continent of ineffable beauty and unspeakable pain. "Gonzalez Palma's images unfold with increasing significance, resulting in an underlying sense of tension and foreboding that is only slightly eased by their sheer loveliness" (A. D. Miller). "I live in a country where there is mysticism and violence at the same time, where you are enjoying nature and the helicopters are flying overhead to bomb some region, where you know that as you are working, someone is being killed or someone is being baptized" (Luis Gonzalez Palma). An absolute "must-have" title for Luis Gonzalez Palma collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Luis Gonzalez Palma. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws even if their dealers don't say so. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternaitve. A rare signed copy thus. 70 color plates. One of the finest Latin American artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER LUIS GONZALEZ PALMA TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1892041057. Signed by Author.

From the publisher: "Guatemalan artist Luis González Palma has gained widespread recognition over the past decade for his photo-based portraits that are rich with the symbolism of indigenous myth and culture, Catholicism, and humanity. The figures that inhabit González Palma's mythic world--angels, devils, hybrid creatures, and enigmatic characters--transcend time and place, suggesting that mysticism and beauty are his ultimate subject matter. He has said, "I live in a country where there is mysticism and violence at the same time--where you are enjoying nature and the helicopters are flying overhead to bomb some region, where you know that as you are working, someone is being killed or someone is being baptized."

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine condition. First edition. Laid in four original production photographs, reproduced in the book on pages 74, 110 and 140 (4 x 6"), 76 (3 1/2 x 5"). Square Quarto (10 1/4" square). Versos of four photographs with handwritten notes indicating title, various sizes and an edition of fifteen for each of the images. 152pp. Original red cloth with black lettering on cover and spine. Black endpapers. Photo-illustrated double title page with red lettering. Red satin ribbon marker. The photographs of Luis González Palma are marked by a rich texture of transcendent symbols and an open-armed embrace of beauty. Crows, roses, and wings appear again and again, yet his world is one haunted by grief. "I live in a country where there is so much mysticism and so much violence at the same time," he said, "where as you are enjoying nature, the helicopters are flying overhead and you know they are going to bomb some region; where you know that as you are working, someone is being killed or someone is being baptized." González Palma, however, is no documentary photographer. His landscape is not that of Guatemala but that of the soul, and it is filled with angels as well as terrifying, mythic beasts." (John Wood). González Palma's international following "has evolved around the strange hybrids of race and culture that add up to Latin America." (Francis Hodgson, 2018). Beautiful, elegant production conceptualized by James Crump. Art direction and design by Elsa Kendall. With list of sixty plates and González Palma notes on the installations at rear. Printed on heavy, uncoated paper by EBS, Verona.
