Marzena Pogorzaly Author & Illustrator

Marzena Pogorzaly has already been praised for her astonishing studies of Antarctic ice and for her searching portraits of writers. Al Alvarez has written of `her steady, loving eye' and `faultless sense of composition'; Neal Ascherson considers her `one of the most distinguished and original polar photographers of her generation', with `a vigilant instinct for the numinous'; Simon Schama has described her images as `startling works of art - haunting, powerful, mesmerising'. In this new work, she offers us a valuable portrait of a moment in the history of Cuba, and a rich contribution to the distinguished history of street photography.
