SERGIO LARRAIN - Agnès Sire
This book is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Sergio Larrain. Edited by Agnès Sire, who has maintained a long correspondence with him and worked with Magnum to preserve his photographic heritage, this monograph is divided into two main sections: Latin America and Europe.
A selection of over 200 photographs, enriched by a biography, his letters, drawings and notebooks, plunge us into the world of this extraordinary artist.
In an article announcing the photographer's death in Le Monde, in February 2012, Michel Guerrin wrote: "Sergio Larrain photographs in black and white, especially in the street. He cuts the light in such a way as to give the impression that days are plunged into night. People are like ghostly apparitions. He takes rare liberties to draw the viewer into daring, virtuoso compositions, carnal and jostling, as if we were on a rocking ship: plunges, counter-plunges, deep perspectives, foreground blurs, violent cutting of light...".
