300 books: this is the anniversary that Bernard Plossu will celebrate in Arles with the release of “Mucho amor” published by Editions Lamaindonne.
It is a book that evokes “the best years of his life”, when he spent time with family in Andalusia.
David Fourré, his publisher, presents it as follows:
Bernard Plossu, the photographer with 300 books.
Bernard Plossu is without a doubt one of the greatest French photographers, who left his mark on so many photography enthusiasts with his Mexican Journey or his Swallows from Andalusia, his subtle black and white in gray, his Fresson prints…
At the end of the 1980s, he spent several years in Andalusia, near Almeria. With his family, with his wife Françoise Nuñez and their two children. “The best years of my life”, as he likes to say.
It is this happy period that this book traces. Family moments, peaceful desert landscapes, scenes of life in the surrounding villages. Everything here exudes love, well-being and serenity.
It is also an opportunity to show images never before published, colors, black and white, panoramic, half format… Bernard Plossu photographs as he lives, with great freedom. And it is precisely this freedom that this book wants to show.
A book like a manifesto according to Bernard Plossu.
