MEXICO - Lot 191

MEXICO Paris, Éditions Place des Victoires, circa 2001. A magnificent photo book dedicated to the photographic work of Juan Rulfo (1917–1986), a major figure in Mexican literature and an exceptional photographer. Bringing together his photographs taken between 1945 and 1955, the book reveals a rural and timeless Mexico, made up of arid landscapes, vernacular architecture, isolated villages, and anonymous figures captured in light of rare intensity. The photographs, reproduced with great care, bear witness to Rulfo’s deeply poetic vision of his country. Accompanied by essays by Carlos Fuentes, Margo Glantz, and several specialists in Mexican culture, this volume is one of the finest publications dedicated to the artist. Large quarto format, lavishly illustrated in black and white, with a photographic dust jacket.
