Exposiciones para ver. Graciela Iturbide. Centro de Cultura Antiguo Instituto. Gijón . Asturias
La Fundación Mapfre, siempre cuidando la fotografía, hace viajar su fondos por la geografía española de tal manera que ahora, en Gijón, podemos ver la siguiente exposición:
Señalar que la práctica totalidad de las fotos de esta exposición está disponible en la web Google Arts Culture
Bien y ahora pasoa comentar un poco mi opinión sobre estas fotos.
Señalemos que varias de ellas son, están, consideradas como grandes obras de la fotografía y como tal figuran en grandes museos. por ejemplo las referenciadas en estos links.
Estamos ante unas fotos de evidente sabor documental, muchas de ellas retratos de gente de México, en algunos de ellos este carácter documental dota de potencia a la foto como es el caso de Nuestra Señora de la Iguanas.
Otras veces el documento, las fotos, forman una serie como es el caso del entierro de un niño en el cementerio con la familia colaborando y posando para la foto ( y el cadáver que se encuentran que estaba en el paseo del cementerio al aire, en el paseo del cementerio..)
Son fotos en blanco y negro muy buenas pero, cuando uno ve una exposición con un gran número de fotos como es este caso, y lo que va teniendo es ganas de salir de la sala, un cierto cansancio de ver tantas fotos semejantes en fondo y forma, no puede uno dejar de pensar que falta un poco, poquito,poco pero algo a esta fotógrafa, de, repito, gran fama y reconocimiento mundial.

The Mapfre Foundation, always taking care of the photography, makes
travel its funds by the Spanish geography in such a way that now, in
Gijón, we can see the following exhibition:
Graciela Iturbide. Center of Old Culture Institute
Point out that practically all the photos of this exhibition is available on the web Google Arts Culture
Well and now it happens to comment a little my opinion on these photos.
Let us point out that several of them are, are considered as great works of photography and as such are contained in large museums. For example the ones referenced in these links.
Eyes to Fly
The Lord of the Birds
We are before some photos of evident documentary flavor, many of them portraits of people of Mexico, in some of them this documentary character endows to the photo as is the case of Our Lady of the Iguanas.Other times the document, the photos, form a series like the burial of a child in the cemetery with the family collaborating and posing for the photo (and the corpse that was in the air, in the walk of the cemetery ..)
They are very good black and white photos, but when one sees an exhibition with a large number of photos as is the case, and what is going on is wanting to leave the room, a certain fatigue of seeing so many similar photos in the background and Way, one can not stop thinking that a bit, a little, little but something to this photographer, of, I repeat, great fame and worldwide recognition.
