A landmark survey of one of the most significant American
photographers of the twentieth century Best known for his intimate
portrayals of barrio communities of the Southwest United States,
Louis Carlos Bernal made photographs in the late 1970s and 1980s
that draw upon the resonance of Catholicism, Indigenous beliefs,
and popular practices tied to the land. For Bernal, photography was
a potent tool in affirming the value of individuals and communities
who lacked visibility and agency. Working in both black and white
and in color, he photographed the interiors of homes and their
inhabitants, often presenting his subjects surrounded by the
objects they lived with—framed portraits of family members,
religious pictures and statuaries, small shrines festooned with
flowers, and elements of contemporary popular culture. Bernal
viewed these spaces as rich with personal, cultural, and spiritual
meaning, and his unforgettable photographs express a vision of la
vida cotidiana—everyday life—as a state of grace. The first
major scholarly account of Bernal’s life and work by the esteemed
historian Elizabeth Ferrer, Louis Carlos Bernal: MonografĂa is the
definitive book about an essential photographic artist. Copublished
by Aperture and the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson
