Presents "Luis Gonzalez Palma 1993". Gonzalez Palma, now based in Argentina, has gained enormous and well-deserved international recognition over the past decade for his portraits that are rich with the symbolism of indigenous myth and culture, Catholicism and humanity. The figures that inhabit Gonzalez Palma's mythic world (angels, devils, hybrid creatures, and enigmatic characters) transcend time and place, suggesting that mysticism and beauty are his ultimate subject matter.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Guatemalan artist Luis Gonzalez Palma has gained widespread recognition over the past decade for his photo-based portraits that are rich with the symbolism of indigenous myth and culture, Catholicism, and humanity. The figures that inhabit Gonzalez Palma's mythic world -- angels, devils, hybrid creatures, and enigmatic characters -- transcend time and place, suggesting that mysticism and beauty are his ultimate subject matter. He has said, 'I live in a country where there is mysticism and violence at the same time -- where you are enjoying nature and the helicopters are flying overhead to bomb some region; where you know that as you are working, someone is being killed or someone is being baptized'. Yet Palma's landscape is not that of Guatemalan politics, but that of the soul, portrayed in both its beauty and its sorrow. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.…
