He photographed this Chilean seaport throughout his career, but it was in the early 1960s, when he returned to his homeland after traveling the world as a Magnum photographer, that it became a focus of his attention. He saw it as \"a sordid yet romantic city,\" standing between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, falling into a slow decline as its trading importance faded away, yet still retaining hints of beauty and magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eSergio Larrain: Valpara?so\u003c\/em\u003e is based on a layout designed by Larrain in 1993 in response to the original French edition of 1991. It features a text by Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, specially written for Larrain; an essay by Agn?s Sire; and a selection of previously unpublished photographs taken between 1952 and 1992, expanding the original thirty-six images to a total of 120. Handwritten notes and texts by Larrain himself accompany the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500544808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210","brand":"Sergio Larrain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44902144344245,"sku":"9780500544808","price":46.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_46cac2ab-9726-4535-a8ae-c68341cfd888.jpg?v=1733813392","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sergio-larrain-valparaso-9780500544808","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
