"Rediscover the work of an acknowledged American master whose influence has been immeasurable but is only now beginning to be fully understood and appreciated. Jerry Uelsmann is a modern master of photography, one of a select group of artists who can be said to have altered the very language of their medium. By synthesizing his photographs from multiple negatives starting in the 1960's, Uelsmann broke rank with the prevailing aesthetic of the period and pioneered a new approach that would influence countless artists and photographers and anticipate the digital-image revolution by a generation" (Publisher's blurb). Apart from his previous title, "Approaching The Shadow", which is now out-of-print, this is the book to own for those who wish to see the work reproduced as faithfully as possible in book form. "Many of these images are enigmatic and provocative. Over the years, they have continued to engage me in a poetic, meditative and mysterious dialogue. They are an important part of my visual quest" (Jerry Uelsmann). A brilliant achievement. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black marker on the title page by Jerry N. Uelsmann. This is the only signed copy available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. 60 plates. One of the finest living American artist/photographers. A flawless collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JERRY N. UELSMANN TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0821257420. $150.00 |
