Alfredo Boulton (1908-1995), an art critic, historian, and photographer, was one of the most prominent Venezuelan intellectuals of the 20th century. This book specifically focuses on Boulton's modernist period, showcasing the photographs he took between 1928 and 1944, which are part of the albums he created as a personal tool for visualization and collection of his images. Through a selection of photographs and fifty pages from the albums, representing the photographer's early years of production, readers discover the uniqueness of a body of work that utilizes the international language of modern photography in service of an Americanist vision, more closely tied to his home country.
