Image and Memory

Resumen del Libro

Libro Image and Memory

FotoFest 1992, a major festival of international photography, brought Latin American photography into focus for a wide audience. Offering a diverse selection of photographers, countries, artistic movements, and subject matter, the show revealed a photographic tradition rich in history and creativity. Drawing from the more than 1,000 images exhibited by FotoFest, this book documents the work of fifty-two photographers from ten countries. The photographs range from the opening of the Brazilian frontier in the 1880s to a secret archive of documentary images from El Salvador's recent civil war to works of specifically aesthetic intent. Many of the photographs appear here in print for the first time. Watriss's opening essay provides the curatorial overview for the book. Lois Zamora examines the roots of visual image-making in Latin American cultures. Boris Kossoy addresses the history of Latin American photography through the nineteenth century, while Fernando Castro covers the contemporary scene. With its compelling images and English-Spanish text, this book will serve as a benchmark for future studies of photography in Latin America.

En la “Presentación” de este volumen de la colección Cartelera del cine en México, 1903-1911, Juan Felipe Leal nos ofrece un panorama sorprendente de los orígenes del cine alemán, todavía insuficientemente documentados, cuyas producciones comenzaron a brillar con luz propia en las pantallas mexicanas a partir de 1906.

Libro Chino

Chino Valley was once part of the immense Rancho Santa Ana del Chino grant conferred in 1841 to Don Antonio Lugo, the former alcalde of Los Angeles. Forty years later, a portion of the rancho was sold to Richard Gird, an American entrepreneur and prospector from Tombstone, Arizona. With characteristic Yankee ingenuity, Gird increased his holdings to nearly 50,000 acres in a short period of time, planned and developed the present-day city of Chino, and transformed the valley into an agricultural empire based on sugar beet production. Chino later emerged as the center for the California dairy...

El cine clásico

Libro El cine clásico

¿Qué es el cine clásico? No trataremos aquí de establecer algunos "clásicos del cine" o de discutir un canon. Lo que este libro busca es interrogar ciertas formas, estilos y funciones que suelen, en el cine, considerarse clásicas, y que poseen una trayectoria por lo menos atípica. Mientras otras artes delineaban sus percepciones de lo moderno, el cine estabilizó, y a escala planetaria, ciertos modos de mostrar y narrar durante varias décadas. No pocos vieron en ello formas de un clasicismo iniciado por realizadores como David W. Griffith y mantenido hasta el presente en otros como...

La imágen sin límites

Libro La imágen sin límites

Anthological exhibition of Cuban photography, fifty artists and one hundred images allow an extensive tour of the development of photography in Cuba since its arrival on the island in 1840 to the present. With this exhibition, curated by the specialist Rafael Acosta de Arriba, the exhibition of Cuban photography returns to the Museum's halls.
