Once again available, this book offers two different and complementary views on Buenos Aires. That of Horacio Coppola s allows us to see the town through its most emblematic images of the urban landscape with which he designed his own Buenos Aires: downtown and suburban streets, typical quarters, building changes. The chosen photographs, dating between 1929 and 1936, include several snapshots hitherto unpublished and the original negatives.The photographs belonging to Facundo de Zuviria seem to preserve a balance between urban landscapes and poetic abstraction, thus in full accordance with Coppola s spirit. Hence, there appear buildings facades, shop-windows and different suburbs, wherein the artist thinks a deep and essential Buenos Aires still survives.The city s thorough description presented in this book, shows, through its two creators eyes, something that is deeply rooted and preserved, i.e. an urban essence perpetually underlying behind the facades and its people, not easily to be defined though indeed intuitively perceived: the soul of Buenos Aires.

Nuevamente disponible, este libro ofrece dos miradas distintas y complementarias sobre Buenos Aires. La de Horacio Coppola permite asomarse a la ciudad a traves de sus imagenes mas emblematicas del paisaje urbano y con las que construyo su Buenos Aires personal: calles centricas y suburbanas, barrios caracteristicos, cambios edilicios. Las fotografias elegidas fueron tomadas entre 1929 y 1936 y se incluyen varias fotos ineditas de los negativos originales.Las fotografias pertenecientes a Facundo de Zuviria intentan mantener un equilibrio entre los paisajes urbanos y la abstraccion poetica, siguiendo de esta manera el espiritu coppoliano. Aparecen asi frentes edilicios, vidrieras de negocios y los barrios, en los que el artista piensa que perdura un Buenos Aires esencial y profundo. (Publisher’s Info)
