Lot description

Alex WEBB Grenade 1979 Taken in 1979, this photograph was made shortly after Alex Webb joined Magnum Photos, marking the beginning of his extensive travels through regions defined by intense light, color, and cultural complexity. Webb traveled to Grenada to create a photo essay documenting the everyday lives of its inhabitants, far removed from Western economic concerns. Known for his richly layered compositions and saturated color palette, Webb uses color as a structural and narrative device, allowing multiple visual and social realities to coexist within a single frame. His work consistently explores border regions and tropical environments, where light, movement, and human presence intersect, positioning the photographer as a witness to history through ordinary life.
