The third edition of Yamamoto's much-loved photographic homage to the precarious, the delicate and the humble, complete with a sumptuously produced and redesigned coverJapanese photographer Masao Yamamoto trained as an oil painter before discovering that photography was the ideal medium for the theme that most interested him--the ability of the image to evoke memories.First released in 2015 with a second edition in 2021 and long since out of print, Small Things in Silence surveys the 20-year career of one of Japan's most important photographers. Yamamoto's portraits, landscapes and still lifes are made into small, delicate prints, which the photographer frequently overpaints, dyes or steeps in tea. Edited and sequenced by Yamamoto himself, this volume includes images from each of the photographer's major projects--Box of Ku, Nakazora, Kawa and Shizuka--as well as installation shots of some of Yamamoto's original photographic installations. In the words of Yamamoto himself: ""I try to capture moments that no one sees and make a photo from them. When I see them in print, a new story begins."" Now in its third edition, the book features a newly designed linen hardback cover with embossing and a tipped-on image.Masao Yamamoto (born 1957) lives and works in Japan. He has published numerous books, including two previous editions of Small Things in Silence (RM/Seigensha, 2015 and 2021) and Tori (Radius Books, 2016). His work is held in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the International Center of Photography, New York, and others.

Subverting methods used by early colonizers, Moreno's "info-photographic" plates approach the American landscape from a decolonized, gendered perspectiveUsing her images of abandoned Ark-La-Tex drive-in theaters, Spanish artist Linarejos Moreno (born 1974) explores the canonical identity of Americana to sublime effect. Her work also serves as a sociological history of US geography, beginning with early explorations by Alexander von Humboldt.

Revisiting the work of an overlooked female Spanish painter who was both a friend and contemporary of Picasso and GrisThis catalog offers a chronological journey through the different stages in the artistic life of the Spanish painter María Blanchard (1881-1932), who developed a unique style of Cubism in her short career. After moving to Paris in 1916, she met many Cubist artists and became close friends with Juan Gris. Her work evolved into a more figurative and traditional style over the years; her paintings became harsh, with bright clashing colors and melancholic themes. The vast body of work she left behind, including maternity scenes and domestic scenes, reflects a heartfelt concern for human vulnerability. This aspect is reinforced by a meticulous technical mastery and a keen interest in the history of European painting. Because her work was largely overlooked during her lifetime, this monograph aims to highlight the symbolic richness and innovative character inherent in her work.

Remnants of the historical past overlaid with the work of material erosionIn the Roma project, David Jiménez (born 1970) arranges his photographs of various rock formations--statues, ruins and monuments--to investigate the transformative power of time and its ability to generate new meanings.

The early and innovative fashion photography of the renowned Spanish artistFashion photography occupies an unknown place, although of great importance, in the career of Spanish artist Antoni Miralda. After settling in Paris, Miralda collaborated regularly with the legendary ELLE magazine between 1964 and 1971, often working on contemporary seasonal collections linked to the art world. Among the many spreads produced by Miralda, one stands out for the notoriety of the model who stars in it: the iconic Twiggy.This stunning new volume highlights how influential this early body of work was, both to his own career as well as in the world of fashion photography. While most images at the time featured models in studios, Miralda took these models out into the street: uncodified and unpredictable spaces that required the photographer and his team to make quick yet complex design choices. Faced with the Grand Paris of Haussmann or the Paris of museums and imposing cathedrals, Miralda prefers the blind points of historicist urbanism; popular, unclichéd places with a great human density. No-Flash Fashion, with its contemporary design and its references to fashion magazines and archives, presents for the first time a detailed view of the undiscovered work of one of the most versatile and iconic artists of the 20th century.Antoni Miralda (born 1942) is best known for his "food sculptures" and public performances centered on the ritual of eating. He designed the Food Pavilion at Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. In 2018 he won the Velázquez Prize for Plastic Arts, awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture.

A revitalized review of more than 80 paintings and sculptures by the renowned Mexican Neo-ExpressionistJulio Galán (1959-2006) was, according to the New York Times, the best-known young Mexican painter of his generation. This volume offers the first comprehensive publication of his work in many years. First "discovered" and published by Warhol, Galán is usually pegged as a Neo-Expressionist whose work shares concerns with luminaries of that tendency such as Julian Schnabel and Francesco Clemente. Galán, though, had a very particular artistic vision. His works, often concerned with pre-Columbian cultures, retablos (nativity scenes) and homosexuality, show the influence of Frida Kahlo, Surrealism and Mexican folk art and employ elements of collage such as beads and dried flowers. Julio Galán: A Rabbit Split in Half includes the first biographical essay on Galán ever published, a glossary on Galan's iconography, archival images, author photographs and contemporary photographs from the 2022 exhibition at the Tamayo Museum in Mexico City.

Polygons, corncobs and geometric patterns make up a world of imaginary figuresDuring the coronavirus lockdown, Mexican artist Alejandro Magallanes (born 1971) compensated for the lack of social contact by creating fantastical people in a notebook.

Chambi's chronicles of Andean life and Inca ruins highlight Peru's emerging Indigenous discourseOf Indigenous origin, Peruvian photographer Martín Chambi (1891-1973) dedicated a large part of his life to photographing the Peruvian Andes, reclaiming the pre-Hispanic past through images of Inca ruins and portraits of life in Andean communities in the early 20th century. Chambi's work brings a new perspective to photography of the time, highlighting the emerging Indigenous discourse that was starting to gain force in South America. While he was not the first to photograph Machu Picchu, Chambi was among the first Peruvian chroniclers of the Inca citadel. Drawing on Machu Picchu's geometric forms, Chambi's work entered a new phase in which shape, space and texture build toward more complex compositions and starker contrasts, making him an emblem of contemporary documentary photography in Peru and Latin America. This gorgeous clothbound volume compiles 170 of Chambi's black-and-white images.

Six decades of cityscapes and depictions of social transformation across Latin AmericaBorn in Gorizia, Italy in 1934 and nationalized as Venezuelan in 1954, photographer Paolo Gasparini is a leading figure in modern Latin American photography, known for his unflinching portrayal of the cultural tensions and profound internal contradictions of the American continent. Gasparini has travelled extensively throughout Latin America, from Cuba to Venezuela, where he eventually settled, and beyond, capturing the diversity and visual culture of the region he came to call home. This publication, accompanying the eponymous exhibition, surveys six decades of his photographic career wherein an itinerary through the ever-changing landscapes of cities such as Caracas, La Habana, Sao Paulo or Mexico seems to echo that of Munich, Paris, Madrid or London. The catalog features essays by María Wills, curator of the exhibition, Horacio Fernández, Antonio Muñoz Molina and Juan Villoro, as well as a concise biography of Gasparini by Sagrario Berti.

Portraits of uncommon beauty from the author of the acclaimed La CucarachaIn Solus Volume I, South African photographer Pieter Hugo (born 1976) reflects on the values implied by the fashion industry's shifting aesthetics through portraits of street-cast models found in diverse locations such as London, Paris, New York and South Africa. Hugo found himself captivated by sitters with unconventional and atypical looks, particularly before they underwent the machinations of wardrobe, makeup and hair. Drawn to this uniqueness and recalling the sense of not-belonging that is part of the intense experience of youth, Hugo's invitation to the models was: "simply present yourself." The resulting photographs embrace vulnerability and frailty as much as they do the agency and idealism of their subjects. Hugo's typological study questions fashion's commodification of youth and the "outsider," while embracing the beauty of peculiarity worn with acute awareness and the paradox of craving both difference and conformity.

This volume gathers a surprising and engaging sampling of more than five hundred pieces of printed matter: material that circulated between the 1910s and the 1960s, with prints run of anywhere from a thousand to tens of thousands of copies. These ephemeral, utilitarian publications flooded streets, newspaper stands, bookshops, and homes, in the common aim of disseminating an idealized image of what is considered typically Mexican.Drawn from private collections and the holdings of museums, with no claim to completeness, the material in Mexico: The Land of Charm ranges in size from stamps to posters, and includes supports such as books, illustrated magazines, photography magazines, songbooks and musical scores, almanacs and calendars, tourist guides and maps. The result is impressive, in terms of both individual examples and the collection as a whole: these images are now a part of Mexican history.

An exquisitely produced survey of Eamonn Doyle's searing, strange views of Dublin's streets This volume looks at the recent work and the meteoric rise within the photography world of the Irish photographer Eamonn Doyle (born 1969). An established electronic music producer in his hometown of Dublin, Doyle returned to photography after a 20-year break and produced the Dublin trilogy, a series of instant photobook classics: i (2014), described by Martin Parr as "the best street photo book in a decade," ON (2015) and End. (2016). Doyle's newest body of work, K, is his most mysterious and personal. Titled after the Irish tradition of keening, a vocal lamentation for the dead, the series was born partly out of personal loss, and features spectral figures set against dramatic natural landscapes. Eamonn Doyle features selections from each of the photographer's major recent series, a group of early dark room prints and works from Made in Dublin (2019), a collaborative book project Doyle undertook with writer Kevin Barry.
