A riveting retrospective of the imaginative photographs created by
contemporary artist Abelardo Morell Over the past twenty-five
years, Abelardo Morell (b. 1948) has earned international praise
for his images that use the language of photography to explore
visual surprise and wonder. Born in Havana, Cuba, Morell came to
the United States as a teenager in 1962 and later studied
photography, earning an MFA from Yale University. He gained
attention for intimate, black-and-white pictures of domestic
objects from a child's point of view, inspired by the birth of his
son in 1986, as well as images in which he turns a room into a
giant camera obscura, projecting exterior views onto interior
spaces; and photographs of books that revel in their sensory
materiality. In more recent years, he has turned to color,
exploring the camera obscura with a painterly delight and
innovating a tent camera that projects outdoor scenes onto a
textured ground. Across his career, Morell has approached
photography with remarkable wit and creativity, examining everyday
objects with childlike curiosity. The first in-depth treatment in
fifteen years, this handsome and important book examines Morell's
career to the present day, including his earlier works in
black-and-white and never before published color photographs from
the past decade. An essay by Elizabeth Siegel, along with a recent
interview with the artist and an illustrated chronology of his life
and works, offers a riveting portrait of this contemporary
photographer and his ongoing artistic endeavors. Distributed for
