Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from May 5 through July 29, 2017. Re-presents Susan Meiselas' "Nicaragua: '78-79". A dazzling and profoundly moving selection of the photographer's cinematic coverage of the Nicaraguan Revolution: Full-page color photographs that tell their compelling and dramatic story solely through still images. "An extraordinary narrative of a nation in turmoil. Traces the evolution of the popular resistance that led to the insurrection, culminating with the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution in 1979" (Publisher's blurb). A graduate of Harvard University, Susan Meiselas taught at various public schools before joining The Magnum Agency in 1976. She burst into national and international prominence with her very first book, "Carnival Strippers", a collection of black-and-white photographs of professional strippers in New England states. Her shift to color represents an achievement of the first rank in the history of photojournalism. Indeed, very few have used color to capture spontaneous events with such sensitivity, beauty, and overwhelming power: "Color photographs of this kind inevitably give way to gore or to the aestheticization of violence. Here, instead, we have enormous control, a sense of the everyday, and a vitality rooted in an active community" (John Berger). An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Meiselas collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This is a copy of the Exhibition Catalog, which reproduces the all-new prints from Susan Meiselas' "Nicaragua" sequence. Should NOT be confused with the book of the same title. Acquired in their entirety by a major collector, the reproductions of the prints are superior in terms of production values to the original book, making this Catalog eminently collectible for completists. A scarce copy thus. 18 color plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SUSAN MEISELAS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.
