Robert Adams: Gone

Robert Adams fans (and, yes, there are a few of us out here) will be delighted with this splendid new volume--finely printed, beautifully sequenced, with pictures full of light and love. The images appear to have been made while walking with a hand held camera, there are pairs and sequences of images taken from vantages points a few feet or a few seconds apart, that lend a sense of continuing perfection, the joys of an afternoon in sunlight in a familiar place. The photographs in this book seem to have been made at the same time as those included in "Listening to the River", published in 1994.For those who are not fans of this Adams (and you know who you are), this book is, I think, much more accessible than some of his other work, some of which very directly confronts the damage done to the landscape. What is apparent in this book is Robert Adams' love of beauty, especially in the most ordinary of places, in the suburbs where we live, or in the open fields of farms of the high plains. His photographs do not avoid the damage done in our use of the land, but they are also full of hope that we can and do live amidst beauty, if we take the time to see it.

Nicht ganz überzeugend . Die Gestaltung gefällt mir nicht . Zu weisses Papier ... das Design nimmt sich zu wichtig !
