2005147807Milano Milan Italy: Charta 2005. Softcover. VG. Black & color wraps French flaps 152 pp. 321 color illus. Considers the life and work of Chilean-born artist and architect Alfredo Jaar b. 1956. "An architect interested in ephemeral structures a photographer who has grown increasingly suspicious of pictures Alfredo Jaar's most telling gesture is to relinquish the camera by placing it figuratively and sometimes literally in the public's hands. In other words Jaar is a master of indirection. And no wonder. His work was shaped at the outset by the need to speak clearly and forcefully against murderous injustice using language of the most lucid obliquity. Jaar's work declares that daring to connect and participate is our last best hope." back cover. Charta paperback books
