Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Unpaginated. Published in 2002. Retrospective collection of black-and-white photographs. One of the most beautiful art photography books ever published in our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print ru…n as a softcover original only. An original publication from Lithuania, none of the copies was commercially sold in the United States. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Jonas Dovydenas: Oversize-volume format. Black softcovers with tritone plate reproduction pasted in front. Photographs by Jonas Dovydenas. Essay by Anders Kreuger in the English original and Lithuanian translation. Printed in tritone on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Vilnius, Lithuania to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Jonas Dovydenas' "Another Country Also Mine". In Lithuanian: "Sugrizimas I Palikta Krasta". Stunningly beautiful photographs of his native Lithuania by the immigrant/citizen who has made the American West his very own country, his masterpiece being "Nevada, A Journey" (1987). This collection of photographs, taken between 1996 and 2002, on the other hand, is a homecoming and a pilgrimage-of-sorts: Dovydenas fled Lithuania with his family just before the Soviet occupation. He has been gone for a very long time, not entirely by choice. Throughout his work, Dovydenas' approach remains unapologetically nostalgic and celebratory at the same time. His hymnal images are authentic, eloquent, and moving without being sentimental, recalling - and worthy of - the work of Antanas Sutkus, perhaps the iconic Lithuanian photographer of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Jonas Dovydenas collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the First Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: ALL other copies available online have very serious flaws (even if signed) yet are priced as though they had collectible value. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with tritone plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy.
