This PHotoBolsillo reviews the work of one of the greatest figures of Latin American photography, Alberto Korda. Cardinal figure in the history of Cuban art, Korda is much more than the author of the famous photograph of Che Guevara reproduced countless times all over the world.

Tracing the history of documentary photography, from Walker Evans to Xavier RibasThe medium of photography has long had tenuous ties to both the truth and the arts. This volume traces the evolution of documentary photography--from its origin as a journalistic tool through its development into a distinct artistic and aesthetic form. Beginning in the 1930s with Walker Evans' foundational influence on the genre and culminating in the 1980s with the experimental color work of Anthony Hernández and Tod Papageorge, Sculpting Reality presents a careful selection of work from 18 of the most influential figures in 20th-century North American documentary photography.Photographers include: Walker Evans, Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, Louis Faurer, Ricardo Rangel, Garry Winogrand, Susan Meiselas, Tod Papageorge, Anthony Hernández, Mike Mandel, Lee Friedlander, David Goldblatt, Ed Ruscha, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Lewis Baltz, Bleda Y Rosa, Xavier Ribas and Ian Wallace.

Rarely seen print suites and book illustrations by the Cubist and proto-Pop pioneerPublished alongside the exhibition at the Fundación Canal in Madrid, The Search for a New Order traces the artistic evolution of Fernand Léger (1881-1955), adopting an underutilized lens: the artist's print series and works for publications. Frequently employing lithographs as his medium of choice, Léger contributed illustrations to accompany others' text--be it essays, poems or stories--and also produced his own series of thematic images. This volume centers on three of his illustration projects: Cubisme (1912-47), a manifesto penned by Albert Gleizes and Jean Metzinger; Les Illuminations (1949), the famous collection by Arthur Rimbaud; and Cirque (1950), an independently executed ode to the circus. Viewed together, these series patently convey the variations within Léger's artistic vocabulary as he endeavored to distill the spirit of the early to mid-20th century.

Klein by Klein: the photographer's homage to the mediumHere, looking back from the perspective of his 90 years, William Klein selects his favorite works, those that he considers to be the very best he has made over the course of his long career, in order to pay homage to the medium of photography itself. This book, appropriately titled Celebration, provides a tour of his most emblematic works, traversing New York, Rome, Moscow, Madrid and Paris, in powerful black and white or striking color. The book also includes a text by the author in which he reflects upon the photographic art and explains what prompted him to make this director's cut, this exceptionally personal selection. A small-format but high-voltage volume, in page after page Celebration makes it clear why Klein's achievement is one of the summits of contemporary photography. Born in New York in 1928, William Klein studied painting and worked briefly as Fernand Léger's assistant in Paris, but never received formal training in photography. His fashion work has been featured prominently in Vogue magazine, and has also been the subject of several iconic photo books, including Life Is Good and Good for You in New York (1957) and Tokyo (1964). In the 1980s, he turned to film projects and has produced many memorable documentary and feature films, such as Muhammed Ali, the Greatest (1969). Klein currently lives and works in Paris, France. His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.

A generous introduction to the kinetic and op art pioneer's finest worksOver a career spanning more than five decades, Venezuelan artist Soto (1923-2005) played a fundamental role in the evolution of op and kinetic art, and postwar Latin American abstraction. Breaking away in the 1950s from the conventional separation of painting and sculpture, his practice moved progressively beyond the visual field to become emblematic of the radical shift undergone by the art object in subsequent years. Transcending the optical research of his early work, he formed part of the first group of kinetic artists in Paris together with Jean Tinguely, Iacov Agam and Victor Vasarely. Soto: The Fourth Dimension offers a comprehensive overview of the artist's influential work, from his early abstractions to his Penetrables, as well as his striking murals for the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.

A fantastic cornucopia of print propaganda by Soviet Russia's avant-garde artists and writersHoused in a printed slipcase, Avant-garde and Propaganda compiles a selection of publications--photobooks and magazines, along with other related documents--demonstrating the great flowering of typography, photomontage and photobooks in the Soviet Union in the period between 1913 and 1941. Art as applied to book and magazine production achieved its most magnificent expression through the avant-garde movements at the beginning of the 20th century and was particularly innovative in the Soviet Union, where artistic movements such as suprematism and constructivism, the partnership between Russian artists and graphic designers, and the poetic and literary circles of Ilya Ehrenberg and Vladimir Mayakovsky all made for an exceptionally fruitful print culture in the service of the new communist state. This wealth of illustrated material, drawn from the collection of the Lafuente Archive, includes work by El Lissitzky, Alexander Rodchenko, Varvara Stepanova, André Lhote, Natalia Goncharova, Kazimir Malevich and others.
