"La obra de Carlos Pérez Siquier (1930) destaca en el panorama español e internacional como pieza fundamental en la forja de la modernidad fotográfica y la profesionalización del medio en España, en primera instancia desde postulados próximos al neorrealismo y, más adelante, como pionero de la fotografía en color. En ambas vertientes, Pérez Siquier actúa desde una privilegiada posición liminal y con una mirada singular, plenamente consciente de su autoría a pesar de haber partido desde una concepción intuitiva de la fotografía, lejana de cualquier formación académica. Premio Nacional de fotografía en 2003, el fotógrafo ha creado un corpus fotográfico que se adentra de manera tangencial y al tiempo profunda y mordaz en los debates de su momento." ["The work of Carlos Pérez Siquier (1930) stands out in the Spanish and international panorama as a fundamental piece in the forging of photographic modernity and the professionalization of the medium in Spain, initially from postulates close to neorealism and, later, as a pioneer of color photography. In both aspects, Pérez Siquier acts from a privileged liminal position and with a singular gaze, fully aware of his authorship despite having started from an intuitive conception of photography, far from any academic training. Winner of the National Photography Award in 2003, the photographer has created a photographic corpus that delves tangentially and at the same time deeply and scathingly into the debates of his time."]. VG+: In excellent condition. A book with clean pages and tight binding. Looks like it has rarely, if ever, been taken from the shelf.
