Featuring a tipped-on cover image and smyth-sewn exposed binding, this luxurious volume presents the influential Mexican photographer’s most iconic black-and-white works alongside previously unpublished photographs and a series of specially-commissioned color photographs. “Photography is not the truth,” Iturbide says in the published interview with Fabienne Bradu. “The photographer interprets reality, he builds his own reality according to what he knows and his emotions. It’s sometimes complicated because it is a slightly schizophrenic phenomenon. Without the camera, you see the world one way, and with it, another way; through this little window, you compose, you dream reality, as if the camera allowed you to synthetize what you are and what you’ve learned about the place. Then, you create your own image, you interpret. The same thing happens to the photographer and the writer alike: it’s impossible to capture life’s truths.” DATE 1/22/2026 The groundbreaking films of Bong Joon HoIn honor of the 2026 Oscar nominations, announced today, we are featuring a few spreads from Bong Joon Ho: Director's Inspiration—a recently released staff favorite, published by DelMonico Books and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

When you depict it cinematically, it may look like comedy at first, but it’s actually the most realistic portrayal.” Further along, he is quoted, “My films generally seem to have three components: fear, anxiety and a sense of humor.… At least when we laugh, there’s a feeling that we’re overcoming some kind of horror.” DATE 1/19/2026 Black Photojournalism, 1945 to 1984Taken circa 1973, Ming Smith’s America Seen Through Stars and Stripes, New York City, NY is reproduced from Black Photojournalism, the catalog to the landmark exhibition on view through Monday, January 19—Martin Luther King Jr. Day—at the Carnegie Museum of Art. Spanning from 1945 through 1984, this powerful 400-page compendium features work by 57 Black photographers, both well known (like Smith, Kwame Brathwaite and Gordon Parks) and overlooked (until now). “One of the most persistently powerful means of resistance that Black photographers have employed is to simply show us as we are,” Deborah Willis writes, “in our full humanity as families, workers, friends, lovers, artists and leaders. These photographers were on the frontlines, focusing their cameras on both the beautiful and the most painful moments in Black neighborhoods and communities…” |
