The work analyzes his dual creative path: first, from approaches close to black-and-white neorealism, and subsequently as a pioneer of color in Spain. Through a photographic corpus that combines a luminous and biting gaze, the book reveals how Pérez Siquier built a unique body of work, far removed from academic training, which earned him the National Photography Award in 2003. A unique opportunity to understand the evolution of a photographer who knew how to capture the social debates of his time with an intuitive and deeply personal perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book examines the production of Carlos Pérez Siquier from his beginnings, when he approached photographic neorealism, to his consecration as a pioneer of color in the Spanish context. It analyzes how the photographer, from a peripheral position and with a gaze fully conscious of his authorship, managed to develop a visual language of his own that delved tangentially, but deeply and incisively, into the aesthetic and social debates of his time. The work highlights his ability to professionalize the photographic medium in Spain, starting from an intuitive conception that challenged academic conventions. The catalog delves into the two great stages of his career: the neorealist-rooted black-and-white photography and the chromatic explosion that would turn him into an international reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eModernization of Spanish photography through the work of Carlos Pérez Siquier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTransition from black-and-white neorealism to color photography as an artistic language.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProfessionalization of the photographic medium in Spain from a self-taught and intuitive perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe peripheral and luminous gaze as a tool to address social and aesthetic debates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRecognition of photographic authorship and its evolution towards contemporaneity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis catalog is aimed at photography enthusiasts and professionals interested in the history of the medium in Spain, as well as art and visual communication students who wish to get to know the work of one of the pioneers of color.
