Jennifer Barua-Artist Post

Alberto Garcia Alix 
 




1. Alberto Garcia Alix is a Spanish photographer from Spain. He is one of the leading figures of a movement called La Movida Madrilena. His entire collection is make up of black and white photography. 
2. I chose these pictures because they stood out to me and seem to have a lot to say. The first picture shows a young man alone staring off into the city. Although there is a lot of "young punks", this one young man can see how big of a world they are confronting. The second picture shows a young woman dressed up and lower than everything else. I believe she might be a courtesan, and everyone behind her is judging her and giving her disdaining looks. The third picture shows a woman in a black leather mask. This pictures shows that woman are sexualized and used and don't even need to have a name or face to be seen as objects. 
3. I enjoy these photos because I think it shows the cultural youth movement and truths that people have a hard time speaking about.
