Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 10 pages. Published in 1993. Rare Luis Gonzalez Palma collectible item. Exhibition Catalog. One of the earliest catalogs ever published on the artist/photographer. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run of 500 copies as a softcover original only. The Catalog is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Luis Gonzalez Palma: Small-size volume format. Glossy pictorial softcovers, as issued. Photographs by Luis Gonzalez Palma. The artist/photographer interspersed his work with poems by Francisco Najera, which are presented in both the Spanish original and English translation by Joan Lindgren. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Chicago to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Schneider-Blum-Loeb Gallery in 1993, a "follow-up" to his debut 1992 exhibition, and cemented his reputation in America. Presents "Luis Gonzalez Palma 1993". Gonzalez Palma, now based in Argentina, has gained enormous and well-deserved international recognition over the past decade 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 writer used "La Rosa" (duotone with oil varnish) for the DJ cover of his novel, "Of Love And Other Demons". Gonzalez Palma's photograph of a woman garlanded with a skull, toned and white roses on her hair is a striking image that, by itself, captures what he is trying to say about the paradox of Latin America: A continent of ineffable beauty and unspeakable pain at the same time. An absolute "must-have" title for Luis Gonzalez Palma collectors. This title is now collectible. Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition at the Schneider-Blum-Loeb Gallery in 1993, it is the "follow-up" to his debut 1992 exhibition, and cemented his reputation in America. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is NOT a monograph or a book. But it is an important milestone in the artist's career and is eminently collectible as such. A rare copy thus. 5 full-page color plates. One of the finest Latin-American artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER LUIS GONZALEZ PALMA TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.

Published on the occasion of the very first exhibition by the Guatemalan artist/photographer held at the Landmark Arts: The Galleries of Texas in 1999. Presents Luis Gonzalez Palma's "Silence of The Gaze". Some of the most beautiful images taken by one of the most brilliant Latin-American artist/photographers of our time. The exhibition's title, "Silence of The Gaze", is taken from his second book, which was published in both English and Italian ("Il Silenzio dei Maya") by his Italian publisher. The images, meticulously enhanced with oil varnish, are uniquely and movingly his own. They speak, transcendently, of the humanity and immortality of his subjects, who have gone through every imaginable suffering, have endured, and have prevailed. "La Rosa", one of his most celebrated images, was used by the great Gabriel Garcia Marquez for the DJ cover of his novel, "Of Love And Other Demons": Gonzalez Palma's toned photograph of a woman garlanded with a skull and white flowers on her head is a striking image that, by itself, captures what he is trying to say about the paradox of Latin America: A continent of ineffable beauty and unspeakable pain.

Book First Edition
Tapa Dura. Condition: New. 1ª Edición. Lo no dicho, el azar, las imágenes obsesivas, la reflexión sobre el lenguaje fotográfico? son parte del camino innovador emprendido por Luis González Palma. El fotógrafo guatemalteco crea imágenes personales que son constelaciones en un mundo, el suyo, al que se accede a través de la belleza, la sorpresa y las claves de interpretación que utiliza y crea. Con el trabajo del compositor John Cage plasma el vacío y el silencio; con el mito de la Anunciación en la pintura del Renacimiento, el deseo y la ausencia; el paño de pudor que cubre a Cristo en las obras canónicas da paso a imágenes abstractas que inquieren sobre la desaparición de lo sagrado; las manchas solares las relaciona con las formas de las hojas roídas por los insectos? Es una trayectoria arriesgada que le ha llevado a aceptar lo fortuito, lo que surge sin pretenderlo, y las relaciones subyacentes que hay entre todo como parte de la creación de unas imágenes que permanecen en el recuerdo tras atrapar la fascinación del espectador.

The ground-breaking European retrospective festival on contemporary Latin-American art photography. Produced as a handy reference guide to its subject, Wim Melis divides his book into two parts: "Mundos Creados I" and "Mundos Creados II", with an extended Epilogue. The exhibition itself was divided into four parts, as a "quadrivium", to make the rich subject more easily digestible. Collectively, they capture the vitality, diversity, and beauty of contemporary Latin-American art photography. Luis Gonzalez Palma opens "Mundos Creados I". So many names are not yet familiar to most reader-viewers, but their work speaks for itself. They will astonish, surprise, and delight.

Presents "Woman: A Celebration". A gem. Every single portrait in this book is a beauty: "A photographic homage to Woman in all her glorious diversity and mystery. From a rare image of a grinning Greta Garbo to the direct gaze of a young Guatemalan woman, 'Woman' revels in the breadth of the human experience, with the feted and the nameless shoulder-to-shoulder. The work of dozens of immortal photographers - Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elliott Erwitt, Julia Margaret Cameron, Willy Ronis, Ruth Orkin, and many more - fills this volume. These photographs embody the many moods of their subjects in a breadth of photographic styles, from sepia-tinged Pictorialism to guilelessly Modern. A book as captivating as its focus, this small but substantial package is virtually a history of the photographic medium vis-a-vis its timeless subject" (Publisher's blurb). The "direct gaze of a young Guatemalan woman" is otherwise known as "La Rosa" ("The Rose"), Luis Gonzalez Palma's single greatest portrait. Like another great artist/photographer/lover of his subject, he can honestly say: "My medium is Woman" (Alfred Stieglitz). An absolute "must-have" title for Luis Gonzalez Palma and photography book collectors. This copy is very prominently, uniquely, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on his Contribution ("La Rosa", Plate #65) by Luis Gonzalez Palma.

Presents Luis Gonzalez Palma's "Il Silenzio dei Maya". All-"bleed" photographic reproductions and doublespreads. 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. "Luis Gonzalez Palma is best-known for his strange, quiet portraits of the Mayan and Mestizo women in his native Guatemala. There is a contradictory quality to many of these portraits. The subjects are women who belong to cultures that have been marginalized yet the photographs have a distinctly European, even Victorian, appearance. Even when dressed in their native clothing, the subjects are often posed in a way that negates their native-ness. Despite that, the faces of the subjects often seem to be challenging the viewer, as if they're proclaiming their refusal to disappear totally. His body of work has been described as existing on both 'the bright and dark sides of Reason'. I'm not at all sure what that means, but it seems somehow appropriate. It's clear Gonzalez Palma's photography extends into the realm of metaphor. There is more to his photographs than what appears in his photographs" (Greg Fallis). "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). An absolute "must-have" title for Luis Gonzalez Palma collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue 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.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Fine black cloth-covered boards with title stamped in gold on cover and spine, with photographically illustrated dust jacket. Photographs by Luis González Palma. Afterword (in Italian) by Laura Leonelli. Designed by Donatella Pistocchi and Fulvio Forleo. Unpaginated (90 pp., including 3 two-page gatefolds), with 70 four-color plates (most spanning two or more pages) gorgeously printed full-bleed on heavy coated paper by EBS, Verona, Italy. 9-3/4 x 9-3/4 inches. Fine in Fine dust jacket (slight shelf wear). A breathtaking presentation of the Guatemalan photographer's singular work, richly printed with deep blacks drenched in golden sepia and accented with the blinding whites of his subjects' eyes. From an essay by Marge Bulmer: "González Palma declares that he tries 'to portray the soul of a people.' His portraits and images not only succeed in acknowledging his cultural heritage, they also communicate universal psychological overtones and contemporary sociological, political issues. Symmetrically organized, frontally posed, his portraits become still life that paradoxically reveal more, not less. The arrangement of his compositions have a quietude that convey an internal power, articulating strong emotions and evoking serious narratives. It is classically formal and echoes Victorian portraiture. The people fill the foreground, demanding attention. They are individuals and at the same time symbols. The objects become metaphors for life, death, resurrection, and other levels of abstraction.".

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.
