Photographic: The Life of Graciela Iturbide by Isabel Quintero

4.0

I quite liked this poetic introduction to Graciela Iturbide and her work. The book flows lyrically through different periods of Iturbide's life sometimes moving forward in time, other times slipping back to the past. The non linear timeline lets the Quintero & Pena highlight the major themes of Iturbide's life and round her story together in a pleasing way (that often doesn't work for biographies). As a newcomer to Iturbide's art I really liked that the story mixes her photographs in with the illustrations, it let me see some of the photographs without digging around online, and it makes the book feel more real. Lyrical and lovely, recommended for photography lovers, graphic biography fans, and those with a fondness to lyrical true stories.
