These notebooks—faithfully reproduced in facsimile—trace the gestures of a Mediterranean painter immersed in the Sahel, at once observing and absorbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"937\"\u003ePrinted by Galaxia Gutenberg in 2004, the book gathers drawings, texts and photographic traces from Barceló’s extended stays in Dogon Country, where the landscape’s brutal beauty and everyday resilience fundamentally altered his palette and pictorial rhythm. What emerges is neither a travelogue nor a sketch archive but a painter’s living grammar—fluid, intimate, and unresolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"1350\"\u003eThe pages radiate with heat and immediacy: ochre outlines, bleeding colours, inked silhouettes of Tuareg men, goats, donkeys, and women bearing vessels. It’s a book of presence more than distance, closer to Delacroix’s North African notebooks than any ethnographic gaze. In the Darwin archive, this belongs among the most personal art books—where drawing becomes thinking and the desert is both mirror and page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1748\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003cbr data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1370\"\u003eTitle: Cuadernos de África\u003cbr data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1399\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Miquel Barceló\u003cbr data-start=\"1430\" data-end=\"1433\"\u003eDate: 2004\u003cbr data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1446\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1484\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover with dust jacket\u003cbr data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"1533\"\u003eDimensions (cm): approx. 24 × 30\u003cbr data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003eLanguage: Spanish\u003cbr data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1588\"\u003ePages: Not stated (facsimile reproduction throughout)\u003cbr data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Galaxia Gutenberg \/ Círculo de Lectores\u003cbr data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1706\"\u003eISBN: 84-8109-005-0\u003cbr data-start=\"1725\" data-end=\"1728\"\u003eCondition: Very good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52565325119826,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_4_f27ed831-1d70-4172-af97-3b9feb6e019a.jpg?v=1769424195","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/cuadernos-de-africa-by-miquel-barcelo-2004","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
