This book of more than 150 photographs shows an exceptional portrait of
Madrid from the beginning of the 19th century to the present, together
with a prologue signed by the writer Antonio Muñoz Molina. Its pages
show the great photographs of Alfonso, perhaps the greatest graphic
chronicler of Madrid at the beginning of the 20th century; the prewar
and war images of Henri Cartier- Bresson, Robert Capa and Gerda Taro;
the postwar portrait of William Klein, Francesc Català-Roca, Ramón
Masats, Inge Morath or Cas Oorthyus; the incipient development society
that photographers like Gianni Ferrari, Ferdinando Scianna or Joana
Biarnés immortalized; the Madrid Movement of Alberto García- Alix,
Miguel Trillo, Ouka Leele or Pablo Pérez Mínguez; and the cultural,
social and economic environment of the 21st century from the perspective
of Cristina García Rodero, Alex Webb or Thomas Struth. A tour of the
historical, architectural, cultural, sporting events... that have marked
daily life, the urban landscape and the unique character of the
capital.
