Description

In 1966 and 1967, color photography pioneer Joel Meyerowitz (born 1938) traveled across Spain taking hundreds of pictures that together comprise a remarkable document of 1960s Spain. At this time he was taking photographs both in color and black and white, but this period in Spain marked a creative turning point in the photographer's career, and from 1972 onward, following the completion of this body of work, he would only photograph in color.

Joel Meyerowitz: Out of the Darkness brings together some 100 images of this pivotal trip, which are divided across four thematic chapters --State, Street, From the Car and Flamenco-- and includes texts by Francesco Zanot and Miguel López-Remiro, as well as an interview between Meyerowitz and Nuria Enguita, the director of Bombas Gens in Valencia.
