From the Back Cover
Landscape photography may soothe or disturb; beckon one to forbidden corners of the world or remind us of those spaces only memory recalls. Award-winning photographer Lee Friedlander knows how to evoke such complex responses even when, as in The Desert Seen, the landscape is as strange and impenetrable as that of the Sonora Desert. Here cacti as expansive and preposterous as oceanic fauna are photographed with the reverence befitting nature's craftsmanship. Accompanied by a gentle but probing essay written by Friedlander especially for this book, the 94 magnificent tritone reproductions are an event for desert enthusiasts and photography connoisseurs alike.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Price is net to all; promotional discounts do not apply. First edition, first printing. Signed in black ink on the title page by Friedlander. Hardcover. Fine cloth, with dust jacket. 108 pp. with 94 tritone black and white reproductions. 11 x 12 inches. Lee Friedlander's work is widely known for transforming our visual understanding of contemporary American culture. Known for passionately embracing all subject matter, Friedlander photographed nearly every facet of American life from the 1950s to the present. From factories in Pennsylvania, to the jazz scene in New Orleans, to the deserts of the Southwest, Friedlander's complex formal visual strategies continue to influence the way we understand, analyze, and experience modern American experience. Friedlander's work continues to influence photographic practice internationally, in part due to the heightened sense of self-awareness that is a trademark of so many of his photographs and in part because of his ability to embrace wide-ranging subject matter, always interpreting it in an elegance that hadn't existed prior to his work. As New (from Friedlander's personal archive). From the publisher: "This aptly titled volume is Friedlander's tribute to one of the most extraordinary landscapes of the American Southwest: the Sonoran Desert. A devotee of wild places since his boyhood in the Olympia Mountains of Washington, Friedlander brings to the desert an artist's sense of wonder and a woodsman's eye for detail. His camera embraces the textures of rounded cactus, twisted trees, and harsh rock, in a body of work that redefines and renews the tradition of landscape photography." Signed by Author.

Hardcover. SIGNED. "Friedlander's images are packed with detail, and the desert of this book is far from empty, but teems with life and visual richness. His landscapes are not sweeping panoramas, instead, they pull in dozens of directions at once. Often there is no apparent center, but many points of interest; branches and thorns of cholla, saguaro, and other cactuses do not so much frame the photos as invade them. In an introductory essay Freidlander aptly compares his work to his other love: jazz." Photographs & text Lee Friedlander. SIGNED BY FRIEDLANDER; no inscription. First edition, first printing. 108 pages; 94 tritone b&w full-page photographic plates; 12 x 12.5 inches. Condition: Fine/As New clothbound hardcover in a Fine/As New dust jacket. All dust jackets are protected by a clear mylar cover. Ships the next business day, wrapped in padding, in a box. Due to size and weight, international and expedited shipping may be more than quoted.
