{"product_id":"anthony-hernandez-waiting-for-los-angeles","title":"Anthony Hernandez: Waiting For Los Angeles","description":"\u003cp\u003eTake as a starting point the cover of this book; Anthony Hernandez’s wonderful photograph of square, colourful ceramic tiles could be almost anything you might imagine it to be. A Mondrian-like painting, a random pattern, a city grid, or perhaps the work of an anonymous tile setter, brightening up the facade of a government building in South Central Los Angeles. With the passage of time, these vibrant squares have been lost beneath a coat of anti-graffiti paint. Anthony Hernandez is a photographer for whom waiting has long been a theme, with his bus stop pictures in the late 1970s, and his fishing photographs in the 1980s. Hernandez’s vision is both abstract and documentary, and there is a pattern to his work in every sense of that word – whether he is focusing on an empty waiting room, a phone hanging in a booth, or random scribbles etched on a sheet of glass. Hernandez skillfully draws attention to the simple geometric beauty that can be found in even the most utilitarian fence, wall, or window. There is not a soul in sight, but there is a strong sense that someone has been here, and there is enough to grip the attention until, perhaps, they return. With a beautifully written and provocative essay by photographer, writer and critic Allan Sekula.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nazraeli Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64631806493041,"sku":"xzs1789826481293","price":41.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/8134\/8465\/files\/anthony-hernandez-waiting-for-los-angeles_1.jpg?v=1789826489","url":"https:\/\/sweepcutwear.shop\/products\/anthony-hernandez-waiting-for-los-angeles","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
