Oriol Maspons Ibiza (Hardback)

Produced  by Emma Salahi and published by IDEA, this is 144 pages of previously unpublished amazingly free, liberated, sun drenched, dressed up and undressed, beach / party / disco of Ibiza from the 1950s - 1980s.

Oriol Maspons (1927 – 2013) was one of the great Spanish photographers of the twentieth century. The Museu Nacional D’art De Catalunya states, “Oriol Maspons played a crucial role in the renewal of photographic language in Spain in the 1950s and 1960s”.

’Maspons worked in many fields: reportage, portraiture, fashion and advertising but, when he was not working, when he was, as he was, in Ibiza every summer from the late 1960s to late 1980s, he took pictures for pleasure. Of pleasure for pleasure. And - oh, wow - are they good!’

 ”If anything is likely to make us all long for a recent past we didn’t participate in, it’s Oriol Maspons’pictures of Ibiza. Brought together in a dreamy new book (published by IDEA), the renowned Spanish photographer’s portraits of Ibizan culture from the mid-50s until the end of the 80s will make you yearn like you’ve never yearned before”.
