PIETER HUGO | La Cucaracha - signed

Signed by Pieter Hugo. Limited edition of 1500. Jumbo format photobook with vivid color plates. Opened for signing. As-new condition. From the publisher: "Themes of mortality and ordinariness in modern-day Mexico This is Cape Town-based photographer Pieter Hugo's (born 1976) homage to Mexico, in portraits, landscapes and still-life vignettes with bright shades of pink, blue and green." "Pieter Hugo’s big, bold book on sex and death in Mexico is ancient and modern at once. La Cucaracha merges myth, history, and everyday reality, drawing symbols from Catholic iconography, Biblical stories, Mexican folklore, Aztec antiquity, Renaissance painting and cartel crime scenes. Hugo’s electric memento mori celebrates Mexico’s ability to grapple with ambiguity, and to endure." -- Shannon Taggart ― Photo Eye 12.4 x 13.9 inches
