Why people photograph : selected essays and reviews by Robert Adams
Adams writes about photographers like - almost - no other. The deepness with which he can describe a picture or the style of an artist is amazing and makes this book necessary. The essay on Paul Strand alone is enough to make this book worth buying. And the final two essays that relate landscape photography with environmental concern are Adams at his best.
Nel 1974 Adams cambia la rappresentazione dello spazio americano. Opposto al suo omonimo Ansel, Robert osserva il paesaggio attraverso la relazione fra natura e cultura, con il ruolo fagocitante di quest'ultima alla conquista del "nuovo west". Fotografie essenziali, con un uso eccezionale della composizione (soprattutto sul formato quadrato), che rappresentano un riferimento imprescindibile per la fotografia contemporanea.
Summer Nights is a sequence of nightscapes photographed along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Adams's attention to the subtleties of extreme light and dark emphasizes his appeal to look again at places often overlooked. "What attracted me to the subjects at a new hour," he observes, "was the discovery of a neglected peace."(New Images Book)
Wooden books, birds and boats beautifully handcrafted by Robert Adams and photographed with luminous clarity by curator and editor Joshua Chang
In the summer and fall of 2017, the photographer Robert Adams (born 1937) invited Joshua Chuang (born 1976)―writer, editor, Senior Curator of Photography at the New York Public Library and frequent collaborator of Adams’―to document the wooden objects that Adams has made over the years for his own consolation and pleasure.
The resulting color pictures―of half-model ships and boats, a miscellany of open books and cherished species of birds, all formed by hand from wood―have been brought together with views from the home that Adams shares with his wife Kerstin in Astoria, Oregon, to reveal a little-known aspect of his search for coherence in a fractured world.… (more)
