Cristobal Hara's "Spanish Colour 1985-2020" in TIME's Best Photobooks of 2021 List

 

"A compilation spanning 35 years of photographer Cristóbal Hara’s archive, Spanish Colour is reminiscent of Víctor Erice’s 1973 film The Spirit of the Beehive, taking us on a road trip through Spain’s dusty countryside to discover a funhouse of traditions and rituals. In vivid color, Hara always finds beauty tinged with his absurd sense of humor to rattle any romantic notions one might have of religion, history and machismo." TIME Photo Department
