The exhibition is the result of intense research by the curator Laura Terre, a specialist in Spanish photography, and includes some never before published photographs, along with Gomez's more familiar images. Paco Gomez is essential to understanding the quality and abundance of present-day Spanish photography. Related in his poetics and conception of form to several of his near contemporaries, he also brings to mind-owing to his subject matter and originality-such celebrated international figures as Aaron Siskind, Brassai, Edward Weston, and Paul Strand. All of the works gathered in this book are reproduced from original photographs supervised and acknowledged by the photographer himself. They are images that were displayed or published in various catalogues and periodical publications, most of them during the photographer's lifetime, and have been recognized as undisputed masterpieces. The design and layout of this exquisite book have been inspired by the Spanish magazines and publication of the 1960s.
