Edited by curator and art historian Elizabeth Ferrer, and co-published by Aperture and the Center for Creative Photography, this monograph affirms Bernal’s centrality in the story of American photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"1062\"\u003eWorking in the 1970s and ’80s, Bernal captured domestic interiors and their inhabitants—rooms thick with Catholic icons, family photos, plastic flowers, velvet paintings, and the invisible gravity of everyday survival. His portraits, in both black-and-white and rich Kodachrome colour, honour la vida cotidiana not as document but as devotion. Faith, indigeneity, and working-class aesthetics resonate quietly through every image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1464\"\u003eBernal viewed photography as a political and spiritual tool—a way to restore visibility and dignity to those rendered peripheral by dominant culture. This 220-page volume includes 166 images and deep archival research, positioning his work in dialogue with Latinx visual culture and American modernism alike. It belongs beside Laura Aguilar, Roy DeCarava, and Diane Arbus—but remains utterly its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1895\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003cbr data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1484\"\u003eTitle: Louis Carlos Bernal: Monografía\u003cbr data-start=\"1522\" data-end=\"1525\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Louis Carlos Bernal\u003cbr data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003eEditor: Elizabeth Ferrer\u003cbr data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1591\"\u003eDate: 2024\u003cbr data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1604\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"1642\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover, clothbound\u003cbr data-start=\"1683\" data-end=\"1686\"\u003eDimensions (cm): 22 × 27 (8.7 × 10.7 inches)\u003cbr data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1753\"\u003ePages: 220\u003cbr data-start=\"1763\" data-end=\"1766\"\u003eImages: 166\u003cbr data-start=\"1777\" data-end=\"1780\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Aperture \/ Center for Creative Photography, Tucson\u003cbr data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1853\"\u003eISBN: 978-1-59711-557-5\u003cbr data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1879\"\u003eCondition: NEW\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52607375507794,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_1_3a33abbe-d843-430a-a219-b25ca1cc46ac.jpg?v=1769936962","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/louis-carlos-bernal-monograph-edited-by-elizabeth-ferrer-2024","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
