A disciple of Minor White and artistic descendant of Ansel Adams, Caponigro has been prolific and his output is impressive. He has photographed New England extensively and this collection of forest streams, snow-covered trees, still lifes, rural landmarks, rocky pools, and other settings shows him at his most reflective and lyrical. A lovely valentine to Nature from one of its most ardent suitors. This copy is prominently and beautifully signed in black foountain pen on the title page by Paul Caponigro. In a very short period of time, it sold out as it is widely believed to be Paul Caponigro's last book because of his recent retirement from active publishing. Caponigro sold his print archives, enabling him to retire and devote himself to his personal photographic projects. This the only signed copy still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. 58 duotone plates. One of the greatest American photographers of the 20th century. A flawless copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PAUL CAPONIGRO TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1567922163. $125.00 |
