Description: Chicago in Color offers a new minimalist and colorful perspective of Chicago.
In 2019, photographer Judit Prat Martí left behind her hometown of Terrassa, a city near Barcelona, and moved to Chicago to accept a position as part of the Astronomy and Astrophysics Department at the University of Chicago. Upon arriving in Chicago, she endeavored to explore and understand Chicago from all its perspectives through her photography. Chicago in Color is the result of this exploration and a love letter to Chicago and to the people she has met in the city. The book presents a new collection of photographs taken in 32 different neighborhoods, showcasing 17 neighborhoods on the South Side. Each photo has been artfully edited to highlight a specific color or color combination, offering a new way to see the city that will inspire readers to appreciate the beauty in the small things that are present in all neighborhoods of Chicago.Review Quotes: "Chicago in Color is a modestly-scaled gem with many facets of lively color. There are views of familiar places seen through fresh eyes, but the book's strength lies in the smallest of details: minimalist compositions of nature or infrastructure linked by a colorful photographic palette." - WTTW News
