Jean Marie del Moral: PHotoBolsillo

Jean Marie del Moral started his career in the 1970s, when he photographed the social movements that were taking place in France and the Carnation Revolution in Portugal for left-wing newspapers. After, he started capturing the studios of famous artists beginning with Joan Miro’s in Palma (Spain) in 1978. From then on, he would follow the imagery of countless Spanish and international artists. His work has been published in prestigious international magazines. His first solo exhibitions took place in 1987 and 1988. He has also directed documentaries on Pablo Picasso and Miquel Barcelo. This new book belongs to the PHotoBolsillo series, which publishes monographs on the most important Spanish, Latin American and African photographers in a didactic and affordable format. Carlos Saura (Huesca, 1932) is one of the key photographers who portrayed a time in Spanish history which now seems almost forgotten. Saura takes us to places that we barely recognise nowadays: a miserable Spain, with its villages of unpaved streets, adobe houses, peasants fighting the cold with blankets, men whose only means of transport are donkey carriages, women in black … A Spain that reflects the traditions and habits of its people.
