Description: Sebastiao Salgado: Africa Hardcover – Illustrated, October 16, 2007ISBN: 9783822856215Brand New!Still wrapped in Cellophane (Has a few minor tears in the Cellophane)Purchased by a photographer as a reference book and never opened!Stored in a Smoke Free Home Collector's Item or Addition to your collection Sebastião Salgado is one the most respected photojournalists working today, his reputation forged by decades of dedication and powerful black-and-white images of dispossessed and distressed people, taken in places where most wouldn’t dare to go. Although he has photographed throughout South America and around the globe, his work most heavily concentrates on Africa, where he has shot more than 40 reportage works over a period of 30 years. From the Dinka tribes in Sudan and the Himba in Namibia to gorillas and volcanoes in the lakes region to displaced peoples throughout the continent, Salgado shows us all facets of African life today. Whether he’s documenting refugees or vast landscapes, Salgado knows exactly how to grab the essence of a moment so that when one sees his images one is involuntarily drawn into them. His images artfully teach us the disastrous effects of war, poverty, disease, and hostile climatic conditions. This book brings together Salgado’s photos of Africa in three parts. The first concentrates on the southern part of the continent (Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia), the second on the Great Lakes region (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), and the third on the Sub-Saharan region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Chad, Mauritania, Senegal, Ethiopia). Texts are provided by renowned Mozambique novelist Mia Couto, who describes how today’s Africa reflects the effects of colonization as well as the consequences of economic, social, and environmental crises. This stunning book is not only a sweeping document of Africa but an homage to the continent’s history, people, and natural phenomena.+++Watch for All of the Items That We Will Be Selling This Winter+++ NOTE: Winning bidders must pay by the Thursday after the sale (by noon Eastern Time) or the order will be cancelled and relistedPlease note that all auctions that end at greater than $500 will require signature for delivery and cannot be shipped to a PO BoxThanks for lookingMake sure you check out our other auctions since we discount shipping costs for multiple items Please review the pictures to see exactly what you will receive.
