Book Cover

Tracing the remarkable path of photographer Ricardo Valverde’s art and life

This book records the unfolding of photographer Ricardo Valverde’s vision, from his first photographs of L.A. streets as repositories of the city’s social history to his surrealist-inflected mixed-media work late in his career. Ramón García’s essay offers a framework for understanding Valverde’s art and life, along with a sense of the personal and social politics and history that influenced both.
