In need of a new book? Look no further than Elephant’s latest reading list, featured in our current issue. It includes a wonderful new monograph of the late, great Venezuelan-American painter Luchita Hurtado, famed for her “exuberant style that placed the female body in dialogue with the inherent presence of nature,” in the words of Holly Black. The book is part memoir, part scrap book and “does away with dry critical analysis in favour of Hurtado’s labyrinthine storytelling, which flows between extensive reproductions of her work, archival material and photography”. A must-read for any Hurtado fans. Discover our other recommendations in Issue 45.
