Barcelona: Portrait of a City

Featuring nearly 300 photographs from the 19th century to the present, this revised edition of the 2015 publication is a stunning celebration of Barcelona and its people, offering a portrait of the city through the lens of multiple generations. The images by local photographers such as Catala-Roca, Colita, Pomés and Masats and international greats such as Erwitt, Koudelka and Parr are accompanied by text that contextualizes them historically. Dramatic images by Cartier-Bresson, Gerda Taro and Chim during the Civil War contrast with more recent work by Colita and Miserachs, and with the sophistication and glamor of Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton.
