A notoriously reclusive artist, Sergio Larrain (1931-2012) has nonetheless become a touchstone for those who have come to know and love his work, including authors Roberto Bolaño and Julio Cortázar. Celebrated by Henri Cartier-Bresson, his contemporary and a co-founder of Magnum, Larrain's experimental process yielded images that transformed the fixed nature of the medium. His images have left generations of viewers in awe of the simultaneous serenity and spontaneity that a camera can capture--when placed, that is, in the hands of an artist with such rare meditative passion. "A good image is born from a state of grace," the artist once explained. Sergio Larrain, a selection of more than 200 images, rectifies Larrain's omission from the canon of significant twentieth-century photographers, and combines his work in Latin America with photographs taken in Europe. Following a creatively fertile period in the 1950s and 60s, Larrain put away his camera and devoted himself to the solitary pursuit of spiritual mysticism, a decision that further contributed to his reputation as a romantic, a "fatal personage," in the words of Bolaño. Created with the encouragement of Larrain's family, the book is sumptuously produced, designed by Xavier Barral and edited by Agnès Sire, who enjoyed a long correspondence with the photographer and has worked with Magnum on preserving his photographic estate.

{PRETITLE} Sergio Larrain {POSTTITLE}

For all the hype being built around this photographer I found his photographs not living up to the one image of the two girls in Valparaiso. That photograph is amazing, almost metaphysical, like a painting by Magritte... But the rest of his work goes from normal to good with a few very good ones but not many great ones and not one as great or near as great as the one of the two girls in Valparaiso. Maybe that's why he stopped photographing????

The book is beautifully designed as everything that Xavier Barral Ed. does.

Sergio Larrain is an unknown master. He withdrew from the world and moved to a small and remote village in northern Chile. This is the most complete and well edited book of his incredible work. Beautifully printed and bound. A myst have for serious photo lovers.
